    We have two boys, ages 2 & 3.  Spanking and threatening to spank
    were our primary form of punishment for both boys until they started
    going to a babysitter who has four children of her own.  She makes
    them stand in a corner for a half minute or so with great results. 
    The time in the corner is by no means "timed", and the kids know
    when it's ok to come out.  And they usually do with tears and arms
    wide spread.  The "threat" of being sent to the corner and "being"
    sent to the corner is much more effective, for us than spanking,
    usually.  I'm not saying that they still don't get spanked anymore,
    because they do; but a lot less frequently.
