Instead of spanking as a means of punishment I do not believe in it. I do believe in setting boundaries from a young age. Time out, taking away items the child uses as a favorite toy for a specified length of time. I remember once years ago my Daughter decided to do something she'd never done before have a temper tantrum in a store. I looked at her walked away and before I knew it she was running after me. She never did it again. She learned that this type of behavior does not result in a good outcome. I think so many parents today are just giving in to keep the child quiet. And as for the schools if parents set boundaries and didn't give in one time and the next time not give in. Consistency in behavioral consequences would result in children that know the word NO.
