Each child differs but I can guarantee that a firm spanking is going to work on FAR more children than a "time out" does. My siblings and I had our asses tore up with a belt if we got out of line and I will do the same to my children (well, minus the belt, I personally think that is pushing it). I don’t consider this “physical abuse” either, it is a good form of discipline. Spanking does not equal abuse. Beating a child is abuse, spanking is not. As for verbal abuse... that's just unnecessary. Same goes with threats. All of this “If you don’t do XXX in XXX amount of time I will XXX you” is utter bullshit. A hard swat or two with a hand to the ass should be more than enough.
