How were you disciplined growing up?

My parents didn't hesitate to use corporal punishment if they felt it was necessary (and in some cases it really wasn't). I could never do that to my kids if I had any.

Wooden spoon and yelling in pre-school years, later banned access to computer, then inducing the feeling of shame through mocking and ridiculing, which was very effective in my case.

@CrazyMusicLover That's pretty much how it went for me too, in addition to spankings and belt whoopings.

@SW-User I don't remember being spanked. My mom now says that it didn't work for me so she gave it up. But I remember my father chasing my brother with a leather belt. The cracking sound was usually effective enough to threaten both of us. Raised voice is what I remember the best and it usually worked for us.
