It is stupid because she assumes all children are the same and a slap will cure everything.  [/quote]

No, you missed "If you don't believe in that, she'd be spending quality time (well, one minute per year of age) on the Naughty Rug with no interaction from me."

Two suggestions, pick the non-pansy choice that works for your family. [/quote]

That PP (saying she puts her kid on the Naughty Rug) has no idea about the kinds of kids who, no matter how well you do that kind of thing, will not sit on the rug.  My DD is nearly 8 and still has tantrums.  We won't hit, but we have always done time out, etc., only now it doesn't work.  She won't go to her bedroom.  You have to physically hold the door or lock her in somewhere if you wanted to do that.  We realized something is different about this kid (we have another one so we know it's not just parenting) and we're glad in the end we trusted our gut feeling and didn't just try to ram down ridiculous discipline methods that don't work for all kids.  We went to a psychologist who spends about half the time with me helping me work out coping mechanisms and half the time with her on CBT to manage her issues.  We have unraveled the specific issues - it was very complicated.  It's still tough, but it helps to know that it's not our fault and it's okay to pick your battles and take a calm but firm approach.  It's not cheap, but seeing a psychologist could help you get some perspective.

Good luck.[/quote]
