Until it no longer works. You will need to find another way such as taking privileges away(playing with friends, staying up later), taking away toy, t.v., games, etc. Even grounding will do as long as you stick with it. Best of luck.

At no age should we put our children to kneel as a form of punishment.
You give them some type of consequence for their bad behavior. If you put a kid on timeout, you can start at around age 3 ... And you can stop around age 10. It's not very effective after age 10. After that you can start taking away things that they value a lot, like the games and tv, music and so forth, but always be 100% consistent with whatever consequence you've set forth..

You should reward them for good behavior as well.
I did with my kids and now with the grandkids.
My kids are all great and law abiding citizens, has never been arrested, they don't do drugs and all but 3 have very good jobs.. the other 3 are still in school

first of all the 'corner' isn't for very bad behavior in children. the 'corner' is for mild infractions in manners, etc.
bad behavior deserves a smack on the buttocks and very bad behavior deserves a good spanking! sorry, but perhaps if more kids were spanked as kids they wouldn't be the nasty-azzed teens and young adults that they are now!
we have to do something about our kids. a lot of today's parents seem to think punishment shouldn't happen! got news for you, it has never hurt a kid to be a 'little scared' of what the old man or old lady might do if the kid is caught being bad. a small dose of fear can be a good parenting tool!
kids need and want guidance and discipline! and parents had better stop being the kids friend and start being parents!
you can be their friend second, but parent should always be first! its a full time job people, start doing it!

Try looking up the theory Love and Logic. It gives you creative ways to find the natural consequence for each behavior at any age. If your 12 year old says she hates you, don't do nice things for her anymore, like take her to the mall. That is a natural consequence. You can use this theory forever. I think standing in the corner probably stops working around age 10. After that they have a better realization of time.

You can start at age 3 to make your children stand in the corner for misbehavior. IT all depends on the child though. SOmetimes it works, and sometimes it don't.

IF you need to make them stand in the corner, make them stand in the corner with their nose touching the wall, and have their hands behind their back. Try to make them stand there for a half hour at the least, and add an additional 5 minutes they misbehave in the corner.

My parents had me stand in a corner til some age, and I don't remember when it ended. I think I was around 13 or so when theyy stopped doing it, but it could have been later. I don't agree with those who say it's cruel. It is loving to teach a child that there are rules and consequences to actions.

Depending-- it can be used on a child 14, even 15 years old- but probably 12 or 13 It also depends on how firm you were or are with the punishment, and other factors

I say if that works for you, then do it as long as it works. And for those that say spanking is better -- how is hitting your child better than making them stand in a corner? I fail to see that.

I feel it's best to determine why the child is behaving badly rather than just punish. When you determine why, it helps you know your child better and teaches your child how to control his/her behavior. Punishment is the "easy" way out of parenting.

Never, children will always remember that. Use other forms, take away something the truly love. It works.
