I go into the room with my child and sit on the bed with her and hold
her there if necessary.  She hates this, and before long she stays
there on her own.  Sure beats spanking--I feel it shows her that
her misbehavior was sufficiently important than I am willing to spend
some time on it, and have not just sent her to her room to get her
out of my hair or to get it over with.  I think she understands.
