My sister-in-law came to visit us one time..she had a 5 yr old boy, he was the "demon seed" himself. We went to breakfast at a place with a buffet..SIL goes to the bathroom..nephew demands I go get him another plate of food..he didn't like anything on the one he had..and he wanted ice cream or he would start screaming. My two girls tell him.."no use threathening her, she'll leave and you will look stupid"...
DIL comes back and he demands ice cream...he gets it...!

I feel discipline is respect..respecting the parent to actual do what they say they will do it if the child does not listen...my chilldren were never beaten or even punished very often...they just got the message early on that if they acted up in public, where ever, they were taken home or did not get to go next time, instead of me making empty threats..
I had both of mine get in a fight in a store once, pushing each other around, kicking, running,..I told them if they did not stop they were going home..they did not stop...it was a big pain in the butt, but I took them home, blew the horn, husband comes outside and gets them, I go back to the mall...
I honestly can not remember having to ever take them home again...I said what I meant and meant what I said....once they understood, it made for a pleasant life...I didn't like physical discipline very much..
