I think you should say firmly NO you will not behave like that and if she caries on screaming blue abuse at you because her juice is in the wrong cup (the right cup happening to be my ds's which he is using) then she goes without juice and gets taken to the naughty chair/step, if at that point she is still rolling around and screaming and trying to kick and spit at you i would smack her bottom YES SMACK her bottom, she needs to see you are the boss and not just someone to be 'tested'!!!!! enough is enough!!!!!

You know what, i try not to be mean about other peoples way of diciplining, as obviously if it works then great why change it, but i truly believe some kids just need more then words!

"not just words" - effective, non-smacking forms of discipline use actions as well as words. Smacking is just actions. IMO, it is not an effective long term form of discpline. Ijust can't hit my child. Other discpline techniques are working for us.

There was a smacking debate only earlier this week - lots of pros and cons for both sides given.

My neice and nephew are little so and so's and they do get smacked. I don't think smacking is the issue but consistency imo.

My neice and nephew are now 5 and 3 and imo they are now brats and whilst it is no fault of their own, they are also highly irritating and I limit our contact with them because my kids always seem to end crying and with browkn toys.

PS. My DS has ended up with a fair few bruises too and the reason I avoid them is because why should he be smacked, hit and just picked on annoyed to keep the peace. I think the OP should avoid cotact for her son and not really worry that much about her friends lack of a social life.

Harping on about smacking her isn't going to solve your frustration, imo.

If the kid's mother doesn't smack, she doesn't smack. You seem to be having difficulty accepting that. The kid's out of order because she's not disciplined properly, not because she's not smacked.
