When it comes to kids, would you prefer to give your child a "time-out", or a spanking?

Depends on the infraction. Time outs for small stuff, spankings for big stuff (which rarely happens) and groundings for things in between.
-
I prefer the time-out, with spanking on hold till needed yo...
-
It all depends, but spanking at times is good for a child.
-
Both with some priveledges taken away when needed;)

I have a daycare and the parents have given me permission to spank, but I don't. It's not that I don't believe in it, I think it's a great punishment for something done that was harmful or disrespectful. But what I have found out is that the kids hate to sit in time out when everyone else is having fun and playing. They can't stand not being part of the fun.

Time out, spanking is not only unnecessary it is also illegal here.
-
Time out works best. Deny a child participation and you have their attention. Just be sure that they arent having more fun being in time out than being back in circulation.
-
Only if it is really necessary, otherwise i believe time out is better; but if the time comes a good couple of slaps on there bum, wont hurt if you do it with love and care. Never do it you are angry, thats no right way.

I give my child a time-out. I've never spanked my child

I would prefer not to have to use anything. Unfortunately, that doesn't make her think before she runs out into the street without looking. So I use what works. Some days, a time out will do it. Some days she gets into such an ornery mood that a spanking is the only thing that gets her attention. But I see hope on the horizon. I'm starting to see signs of her being able to rein herself in some days, before I have to.

I'd rater bury it up to its neck in quicksand until it cheers up

I never spanked my girls - me and the old lady used to lock them up in a tall tower instead. Serisously - "time outs" are best - never hit your kids.
-
Some form of intimidation is in order, but the hell if I know how I would achieve that.
-
I find that a mixture of spanking, time out, priviledge denial, and the taking away of treasured toys is a good way to go. It all depends upon the infraction. It also depends on what the child responds to, and each of them is different.
-
The least amount of suffering required to achieve compliance is always best. I prefer sitting my kids down and talking with them about what is going on and what I expect. If that doesn't work, then we ratchet it up from there.
-
I like putting my kids in time out because you are not allowed to spank kids now days. but time out does not always work so there for you have to take stuff away from them till they are being good.
