Some parents really need to whoop their kids' ass.

What you're missing in all of this, is that when other methods of discipline don't work, that's when you give the kid a swat on the butt. I don't believe Matt ever stated that he uses spankings as the first and foremost means of getting his child to act properly.

With some kids, maybe they can learn to be better people by sitting in a corner or having a stern talking to, but not all kids will be the same. Sometimes you will have to resort to a little spanking.

Generally, when Madison is acting up my first action is a warning. "Stop doing that."

If that doesn't work, then I use the warning again, this time with an ultimatum. "Stop that or I'm going to spank you!"

And if that still doesn't work, it's time for a spanking on the bottom with an open palm. Not a "beating". Usually, I spank her with her clothes on, and not bare-bottomed.

I took everything you said into account. You used the phrase "beating them." You're associating discipline with violence. There is a big difference between a "swatting" and a "beating".

Correct being firm is not the same as being violent, firm is just a tap or something of that caliber it only hurts for a little bit.

No "steps" involved, in my opinion. I've tried that on many occasions, and sometimes they are futile. They only thing that I can really use against her is threatening to not let her get on noggin.com. She loves to play on the computer on the Noggin network.

Generally, the scenario I gave is for when we are not at our house. i.e., public, someone else's house, etc.

They are not necessary. It's all in how you look at it. No TV might be worse than a swift slap, really.

I have to agree there, my daughter couldn't stand not watching Dora The Explora or not going to one of her online sites.
