Debbie Answered:

Plain and simple, Stacy, you need to tell her she's gonna be spanked if she doesn't knock it off. A spanking doesn't damage a kid for life if you do it right. In other words, on her butt, and make sure you're in control of yourself. If you're angry when she needs a spanking, send her to wherever she's gonna be spanked and make her wait till you're calm. Spankings work better than times outs.
