I agree there needs to be some sort of discipline. And spanking, which is what was meted out when I was a child, doesn't always work.

I would get so frustrated with my son that I tried spanking him, but he would laugh through it, and definitely not seem deterred by it. So I tried hard to figure out what sort of punishment would actually have an impact on him: Generally it was some sort of denial of privileges.
