For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The "naughty step" worked well for us. When your child needs to be disciplined - put him or her in a place away from the rest of the family, excluding them from the goings on (only for a short time). In our case that was the bottom step, where she could still see us, but wasn't allowed to come in. Very soon, just the threat of being sent to the naughty step was enough to settle her down. If you Google "The Naughty Step Method" you'll find quite a few articles.
Also, give lots of 'ways out' of bad behaviour and distractions (eg if she is screaming in the supermarket, ignore the behaviour but grab her attention by saying in a high energy voice 'oooh look at all the different colours! How many colours can you see? I can see red and yellow...' etc) This works amazingly well - often little kids, and as they get older too, get stuck in a cycle of bad behaviour and want to stop but don't know how.

I have been a Registered Childminder for almost 25 years and have brought up 3 of my own and I agree with Chillum and miss_chase. Distraction works well with younger children as they don't understand the concept of the 'naughty step' but as they get older I have always found that the 'step' or a 'naughty chair' or 'time out' works well. Whatever you decide, just try to be consistant because I find that children need to know the boundarys and are better for knowing 'what is acceptable' and 'what is not acceptable'
I don't think sending them to their room works - the bedroom should be a place of calm, where they sleep. It shouldn't become associated with punishments. The naughty step method is better.
My sister used to make her son stand in the hall with his back to the open doorway so he couldn't watch the TV from there.
OK my son is 30 so I certainly didnt get this from a TV programme. Whatever the punishment you have to carry it through. My friend used to tell her son he would go in and not come out again that day. Of course it never happened. I used to make my son sit quietly on the settee and set the timer for 2 minutes. He remembers it to this day!
