if I may, I am pregnant with my first now, so no I do not have any children of my own yet, but I've worked in two different day cares (taught one year olds and four year olds at one and one year and younger at the other.), and helped in raising my little sister and cousins. you don't need a belt to make a child listen to you. at the same time, you as the parent need to be strict with the child. that doesn't mean go on a hitting rampage, but you certainly can teach a lesson or two with time out. strictly calling a child out might scare them at first, but they will soon realize that they've done something wrong. with time out, explain what they did wrong, and if they are good, they can play. (or whatever).. I'm definitely not perfect, nor do I know everything, this is just my outlook on this situation. please don't be offended, I'm only offering advice..

I'm not gonna spank my 1 year old with a belt sorry

time out and spanking. explain why he got the time out and spanking you just need to be constant.

time out and spanking this is not a good thing. explain why he got the time out and spanking you just need to be constant.
