(+) Yeah! (+)

My first instinct (which I resist) is to hit them when they're bad.

Please recommend me disciplinary tactics that work.

Can you give a specific example?

Ok here's what you do. First offense, 5 years in Siberia. Second offense,10 years. Believe me there will be no third offense.

Making a mess and won't clean it or even stop.

That's just one.

I think takng away physical punishment from parents was a terrible thing. Its mostly because some people over did it. But physical pain is the good way to humble someone >_>. I wish my parents knocked a work ethic into me.

Btw that's from a guy who feels like shit when he hurt somenes feeling. Physical pain is overrated compared to mental pain.

What ages?
are they rebels?
Can you read children?

what type of language do you use?

"Clean this up!"
or
"Can you help me clean this up?"

I mean if they're too young then you should teach them.
