if they refuse paddle their ass.

What amazing parenting skills you must have. Let's hit our child so that (s)he does what we want rather than telling them why disobeying his/her parents is wrong.

That's funny. I explain to my child what and why what he does is poor behavior. My,child,actually gets politely but sternly verbally warned 3 times before time out. (normally a minute or two) then if he persist to be rebellious, I warn him one last time before "swatting him" (tends to be just soft enough to make contact with his diaper / pull ups where he doesn't even move from contact)
Just the thought of being disciplined in this fashion tends to get him to stop.

Like if I were to pat your arm as soft as I pay his bottom you would think a breeze came through.

For older kids, yes I feel that if you tell them to stop using an ipad, they refuse (and your too stupid to remove it from their possession) a simple,smack is in place, not hard enough to bruise or do any marks (do pretty much the thought of being swatted hurts hope then the physical contact)
You meow always sit here and take things that are said ,out of proportion and attempt to make an educated rebuttal to receive heated reactions... I love it and actually enjoy the heated responses you receive from other users it cracks me up
