Discipline measures for children that work other than spanking

Many parents settle on a discipline method just because it's how they were raised — and never give it another thought. But we now know more about the effects of different methods of disciplining than was known years ago.

Other ways to discipline kids effectively include using timeouts, withholding privileges, modeling appropriate behavior, and helping kids understand the connection between actions and consequences.
