While I'm a firm believer in a good spanking (or 5, you know, if we're having a rough day) I think time-out has been a really successful discipline tool for Lucy, too. I do it like Nanny Jo (on SuperNanny) does it, and it really seems to help her switch gears. In fact, when she's a little overwhelmed, she often puts herself into time-out (which kind of cracks me up!). But I think it's awesome that she can tell that she needs a little space and it does help her re-boot a little.
It's been SO successful that I'll hear her putting her little ones in time out, especially when they're rowdy in the tub. They get time-out in the soap dish. This night, the frog and the 7 got time out. She puts them up there pretty strernly, usually for "not listening to me" and then after a bit will have a falsetto voice saying "sorry" (the offender) and she'll say that it's okay and hug and kiss. It's pretty funny!
