What do you think is the best way to discipline your child✊

I feel like "all of the above" should have been an option...

My teacher used to discipline his kids using marbles. Every time they'd do something good, they get a marble in their jar, and by the end of the week they would be able to use those marbles and "spend" it on a box of toys that he bought for them! If they got in trouble in school or did anything else bad, then a marble would be taken away! I thought it was cute 

The best form of discipline is self discipline. If you hit a child, or take away their belongings they will discontinue the bad behaviour so long as they can get caught and be punished for it but there will be nothing to stop them from behaving badly when out of your reach. In contrast, if you make a child understand why the behaviour is wrong then they will not do it because they will understand why they should not. This works from a very young age (my eldest started exercising self control at around 6 months when he realised that doing certain things (like taking glasses) upset us, my youngest took a bit longer but is starting to do the same now at nearly 1 year). 

Depends. Usually first time, warning. But in the future I plan to do everything I can first and if all else fails, I will spank. However I don't think it's necessary to resort to that first and/or every time. Just depends 

Depends. I would give a punishment that is actually relevant to what they did wrong, to teach action/consequence. When I was a kid and my mom punished me in ways that didn't even have anything to do with what I did wrong my brain just went ??????¿¿¿¿ because I mean? I didn't think I deserved it because it was completely irrelevant? That as well with obviously communicating with them about it. 

Whoopin ass.

I think it simply depends on the child, but I feel that words should ALWAYS be the first choice. If the child requires punishment for doing something that they already no is wrong (like being mean to another child, for example), then the punishment should fit that specific child. For some kids timeouts are effective, but for others it might not be. Some kids love being alone.But, I will add that hitting them has been proven time and time again to be ineffective. If your child is old enough to understand reason, then you need to use reason. Hitting them every time they do something wrong is lazy "parenting", and just causes children to act out even more. If your child is not old enough to understand reason, then they will not understand why you're hitting them.

It depends on the child, what they did, and why they did it. For me, spanking is NEVER going to be an option. 

I make my kids write essays which is torturous for them but hey make em smart while they're being punished and they know to write in the periods, commas, question marks or they're writing it again! Lol

Depends on the kid. One size does not fit all. One kid might need to just be talked to and another kid might need a time out and another might respond better to a swat on the butt. My brother didn't respond to anything but telling him to do push ups lol.
