You can use psychological terrorism like my parents did. It works, you just have to watch out for the emotional baggage ten years down the road.

denial of internet and gaming time works well

Who could forget the TIME OUT? I think it works well, myself. At least it does for my niece when my brother uses the practice. +5

Send them to their room, don't turn on your TV, no talking or texting on your cell phone and keep your computer off!!

A dam good talking to !

Time out, make them go to a corner, send them to their room, take away a favorite toy or a privilege, make them do extra chores.

The silent treatment

Give them chores for punishment.

I believing in Taking away Personal Items and Privledges ... Take away any cell phones and /or Video game consoles .. Remove TV's and land line phones from their room .... NO Company during the grounding .... IF they want to watch TV ; they can watch with the family in the living room or family room ....

death threats

A night with that creepy uncle who touches you in odd ways.

I'm very against hitting in any way I don't care if spanking is legal or not phisical discipline is wrong! There are tons of other ways to discipline your children. If they are throwing a fit do not raise your voice, don't show sings of frustration, just stay calm and relax talk normally tell them to stop, explain to them what they did wrong why it's wrong and a punishment, make the punishment different each time so they don't know what to expect it adds a fear which will stop any bad habbits or rule breakng, each punishment should be worse than the last, doesn't matter if they broke the same rule or not. For teens same thing, don't get mad because they know they're getting to you. Stay calm but have a disapointed tone in your voice this will add guilt or a feeling of a let down, that will stop any bad habbits or rule breaking, it will also come back when peer presure comes in, they will remember how disapointed you were and don't want that to happen a lgain because it's a shifty feeling to have knowing you hrt your parents. Again no yelling but make sure they know that what they did or been doing is wrong and innapropriate. But ask them what they did wrong. Ask them If they know why it's wrong. These tips should help to bring a peaceful solution to disciplining children Btw I say don't get mad because if you do then it encourages lying. Kids and teens will be affraid of your reaction so they try to avoid it by lying. That's #1 reason not to get mad at your children.

You could sit and try to reason with them at their level of thinking.One could think back in their own lifetimes as children and really put themselves in a state as if they were right there.They would then see the world from a different perspective.Then the person could imagine how they would like to be properly treated,when they were children.Then they could treat their own children with dignity.This is a NLP technique.

communication. Nothing woks better than talking. Explain what they did wrong why it was wrong and why they shouldnt do it again. Dont make it a big speach so they tune out and LALALALA in their head. Straight to the point, this was wrong DONE.

Time out Grounding Retrieval of a privilege Denial of a privilege For teens, take the door off of their bedroom

I've trid time out, I've tried taking toys away. It never worked. So I made up another way. My 3 year daughter is afraid of "the boogey man" so whenever she does anything wrong I tell her that I am going to call the boogeyman. She 's usually to afraid to do anything else. I know it may seem cruel but I feel it's better than hitting her or yelling at her.

Taking away a lot privileges worked for my daughter. It depends on the age too: which level of the privileges we are talking about. 8 years old is different from 14 years old. The most favorite thing for the most kids is to watch TV, their favorite shows. Well, no TV for a week will do a trick, trust me on it. LOL Also, say No friends for a week. She will have to learn to entertain herself without meeting friends.
