It depends on the crime.
If my children are whining and trying to start an arguement with me or each other... they get sent to their room. (Usually when my son is like this he needs a nap)
If they are doing something that can cause physical harm, I spank them. I would rather hurt them a little, then them being electricuted, burned, etc.
If one isn't doing his homework-- I try to help, if I am refused, he takes the grade he gets. (But i reward my son for good grades, not excessively, but something)
IF one of my boys throws a fit about what is for dinner... he makes his own dinner meeting some requirements. (he's 11)
I often take away priviledges... Pokemon cards, gameboy, tv, etc.
i don't have a lot of discipline problems really... my son is really good about not listening. (He's ADD) He has to repeat directions, so I know he has heard and understood them.
Both my children know that if they get in trouble at school, the consequence will be reinforced, and there will be one at home.
Have you tried that counting thing... when they are doing something I don't like.. i start at three and count backwards. I am not always sure what is going to happen at 0, but i never make it that far. But it seems to scare them. ( I do this in my classroom as well, and very seldom do I have to give after-school or lunch detentions.
My new husband just has to say, "I'm very disappointed in your choice" and give them a look, and my boys change whatever it is they are doing. It's amazing. I'm not sure how long this is going to last... but i love it.

If you have access to TV, you can learn a lot from Nanny 911 or Super Nanny. These ladies really do know how to use assertive discipline in a home. Spanking, hitting, yelling does not help. Read Barbara Colorosso's books on discipline. Follow her suggestions. Be consistent. You will see excellent results.

I believe in rewarding good behavior and TRYING to ignore bad behavior. In my experience, this works better than spanking, time out, etc
