Remove priviledges. Good behaviour earns this rewards back.

Each child is different and there age has alot to do with what may work sometimes hitting does not work so then you would try a time out if they are younger if they are older take stuff away for example no tv for a week or video games so forth but each child learns differently and try it all until you see one that is effective with my daughter I base it on what she has done to see how big or little she needs to be punished but the most important thing is that they know why they are being punished and that they learn from it

Well, that is where getting creative works wonders. When my son was looking a things on the computer he wasn't suppose to, we took the door off of his room - other people move the computer to the kitchen. When he was rude to my guests, I was really rude to his. Clothes not being picked up were put in the trash; clothes that were lost or ripped were not replaced.
One of my favorites was the allowance system. At the beginning of the month he started out with an allowance, each day it was increased or decreased by his behavior. At the end of the month he got what was left. Sometimes he was in the negative.
Another favorite was doing detention with him at school. Sitting next to him in detention hall and telling everyone that his Mom had to be there for added supervision made detention never happen again.
Use your imagination, punishment does not have to be hitting.

Hi explaining things to them and giving them an understanding of why your not happy works I do this when I'm not so angry and call a family meeting I explain things that are worrying me and my children say whats on their mind, I let them know it inapproiate behavior and why. While I'm mad at them I make tham set the timer on the oven starting at 15 mins when it rings they can come out if they are still carrying on they go back for another 15mins they soon learn to calm down.

It depends on the age. When my child was between 3 and 5, time-outs would work.
Then, at later age, reasoning, taking way privileges, and talking to her/him about the consequences of situations has helped/is helping.
There are many child development places where you can go to to listen to lectures on child development for free. Also, tons of stuff on the Internet too if you cannot get out.

First try leading by example. If our kids aren't doing what we want them to do then more than likely it is the example we are setting for them. I know this is a hard one for most to swallow because people don't like looking at their own faults. But it is still the truth.

Taking toys and privileges away for bad behavior works for my kids. So does praise and rewards for good behavior.
It's a delicate balance and you should not have one without the other.

Wow...you smack your child...
Well I strongly disagree with that, but the way my parents discipline me is by getting all mad, and then acting disappointed, and talking to me about how they hoped for more. That always makes me feel bad...

If nothin else works, spanking or threatening to.
But first, try grounding her.
