[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. I'm also curious if you think the discipline methods you mentioned don't work and you wouldn't spank a child what exactly would you do if the child does something wrong like say hitting?[/quote]

I follow whatever disciplining methods the parents use whether it's no dessert after dinner or no 20 minutes of TV, I follow it.  But from MY EXPERIENCE, the children will sit in time out and as soon as they are out, they go back to the same behavior of not listening. I don't think many parents realize that the children may listen to them when they are around, but when parents are out of site.. Children could care less about time out or dessert. [/quote]

Ok but if you are saying that the methods the parents use (that you then follow) aren't working then what would you suggest? You can't just say the parents don't know what they are doing and say they are doing it wrong if you don't have a better alternative.

Again, not every method works for every child so if timeout doesn't work you need to find something else but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for anyone. As I said, timeout is very effective for my DS. He used to hit his younger sibling sometimes and now I've watched him start to go to hit him and then change his mind before he does. Of course, if no one is watching he might consider doing it more strongly because his younger sibling can't talk yet but that's the case with any child and any discipline method. [/quote]
