I completely applaud you for this!! I do not believe in corporal punishment, and I RARELY use it on my own boys. I would rather they understand why something was wrong and give punishments that they dislike far more than a few seconds of physical pain. Spankings don't even phase my kids half of the time...they just don't get the message. But, if I take a special toy away for a week, they are behaving better and promising to continue in order to reunite with their iPad, remote control car, or whatever I removed from their room.
