I have, and will spank my kids when i need the edge to get their undivided attention. I use the 1 2 3 before i get them.. First time i get on to them, i let them know what they are doing wrong.. Second time I say 2. third time their ass is mine... (so to speak...)

The older the kids, the less (taken away from them) actually works...

I have two boys and a three year old daughter..

My oldest son is almost 19
Second son is almost 14
What ever you do, make sure you:
1 let them know what they're doing wrong
2 give them a chance to stop
3 give yourself time to slow down.... 123 step is as much for parents as it is the kids.

Never beat your kids past recognition... You may have to pic them up from some where.. j/k

Never beat your kids or punish them out of anger... It will back fire on you and the child!!!!!!!
