Reply #65: We have four kids.

Three are teens, one is 11. Two boys, two girls.

Never laid a hand on them, don't yell and scream at them either.
There are times when I would have loved to have throttled a teen, but of course better senses always rule (and who hasn't been there?). We do believe in consequences (as immediate as possible) for poor behavior choices, however. We have been known to make one son do jumping jacks in Walmart because he was misbehaving. Only needed to do that ONCE...the rest of them learned from his incident. I also believe in hard labor for whiners.
