I'm sure many of you here were disclplined when you were wee lads. Some of you got the belt *or backhand, or other equivilants*, while others got time outs and groundings. What I want to ask is...
What do you think of the different schools of discipline, are which are most effective in raising an upstanding member of society, in your opinions?

Old fashion butt-whup worked fine with me, though I think I developed a bit of a spanking fetish.
Anyways, there are many ways to punish children, but I believe sometimes, physical response has more of an effect. Not always, but sometimes.

It depended entirely on the severity of my 'crime': For staying out late, when I was supposed to be back home at 6pm for dinner, I received a formal grounding for a week or so.
For assaulting my siblings, I got the leather belt.
For being disrespectful and cheeky to my peers, I got a good smack upside the head.
For trying to get my way all the time through whining, being bratty and the ilk, I simply got ignored until I left. And many others. :3

I've only been hit like once in my life with a belt and that's for disobeying my parents and going over to a neighbour's house when I was not supposed to. Besides that only a stern talking to usually did the job. I didnt really get into much trouble as a kid for some reason. As I grew up I realized the talks had worked on me well. I hope I never have to hit my kids. Just gotta teach them that life has its own consequences like I was taught. Like if a kid stays out past their curfew its because the parents are protecting them from a potential danger that could be lurking around such as kidnappers, gang members, ect.

My discipline tended to be fairly small-scale and was most strongly comprised of the removal of things I liked when I did wrong behaviors, and just plain discussion. Seriously, talking about why things are wrong is a good thing for getting moderately well-adjusted children.

The worst trouble I got in was when I went through a bout of bad grades all throughout middle school. My mom took away the computer, my stereo, and all kinds of things but I always waited until she forgot about it and just got it back. She eventually realized grounding me from anything doesn't work so she stopped. Now she just asks me continuously about a class that I was formerly doing bad in and now I'm doing well. It gets annoying enough so I try and get a good grade in that class.

I used to get hit, but only sparingly. It was usually when I did something really bad, but sometimes I got spanked for a misunderstanding and that made me hate and loathe the wooden spoon.
Later on, I was sometimes grounded (but not often, because I was a really "do what you say" kind of kid).
And still later, when I was a teen, my mom and dad started "fining" me. If I did something bad or wrong, I got money taken away from me. As a teen, that hit hard, so I was often on my best behavior even if I was pissed or felt that they were being unfair (usually my mom).
