Try getting down to their level...talking to them eye to eye...be consistent in the tone of your voice...if you use the word "no" they will...if you raise your voice they will also think it's OK to raise their voice back. If time outs for your child is not working, try putting the toy on a time out. They will grow out of this stage...children learn from you. One thing to always remember...praise your child for good behavior, you will be surprised what a difference it makes with a child.

I have two 9 yr old and a 2 yr old
depends on your child.
take a way things, use time out the right way, use a chart for bigger kids
that supper nanny can help as well
hate to say spankings but they did not hurt us as children and i know my famliy turn out ok.
you really need to find what works an go with it and be consistint in what ever you do. good luck hope you get it under controll

Well it depends on the age. With my 12 year old I take her cell phone or ground her from the computer or make her write a report. But with the 3 year old I take her favorite toy and put it on top of the fridge where she can see it or i don't let her go to the supermarket (which she loves )with me, I have also ignored her and then asked if she liked it when mommy didn't listen and that always works to remind her of how rude she is being.!!! Good Luck!!!!!

What a colorful story! What was your question? If you want my opinion, I think there's a difference between an open-palm smack on the butt and child abuse. I work retail...yeah your kids are not going to settle down and behave just because you asked them nicely, and ignoring them only makes them scream louder. I was spanked as a child, and I didn't grow into a serial killer.

it starts when they are toddlers disipline and constant disipline will work. i dont think ignoring your child or smacking their face is exactly the kind of disipline i would advise but there are solutions i have girls and when they were toddlers like 2 and 4 i would make them do push ups or situps when they would not listen i would give them chores like clean their room when they would not listen and when they would tell me no i would make them stand with their back against the wall in squatting postion with their hands reached out in front of them. it sounds mean but they learned that mommy dont play . my girls are 11 and 9 now and i have not had to spank them in a few years and even now that they are older i will be like you feel doing push ups all day and they straighten their butts up really fast. hope you find a solution good luck

Negotiate with the kid and then in ten years go on a talk show and ask Dr. Phil why you can't get anywhere with your teen.
Lookit.....pick up a wooden spoon and whup the kid's a$$!! Damn, why are people so stupid nowadays. When my daughter was little I kept her butt in line. She is now a 4.0 student and is at engineering camp this week. Why are you so damn afraid to discipline? Being a parent is not rocket science. Take control, dammit, you're supposed to be the parent.

You need to use a more stern voice. Be firm and let them know you mean it. Take away toys and privileges.

TAKE CONTROL AND PUT YOUR FOOT IN THEIR ***, IGNORE THEM AND WHATEVER THEY LOOOOOOOVE TO DO, TAKE IT AWAY, I KNOW ITS HARD BUT DO IT AND BE CONSISTANT. IF YOU SAY, "IF YOU DO A, THEN B IS GOING TO HAPPEN, THEN STICK TO IT, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO IN THE BATHROOM AND CRY AFTERWARDS. TRUST ME IT WILL HELP THEM IN THE LONG RUN AND APPRECIATE THE STRUCTURE WHEN THEY ARE OLDER, I KNOW I DID....
