My 19 month old son has been spanked in the past for many things.  To
clarify spanked i mean an open handed slap to his diappered bottom.  I
did read many articles here that convinced me not to spank but i still
have found myself doing it.

Recently i have noticed that my son has become aggressive, when
something happens that he doesnt like he hits.  this upsets me greatly
and has me seriously considering the affects of spanking.  Lately i have 
started to use his crib as a threat eg. stop that or your going in your crib.
It works at times but in general has not been effective.

Please share some ways you find effective.  i cant ever remember seeing
these alternate means of punishment in the articles against spanking.
i will admit its been a few months since i have read netnews.
