haha, i remember my mum chasing my brother around the house with the wooden spoon and all of a sudden he stopped ! turned around !!! and grabbed it out of her hands and broke it in two !!! *gasP !*
the look on her face was priceless! ...then she says "right! i'll get the fish slice !"
He ran for his life
unnecessary exclamation marks added to make it more dramatic

ROFL!
i remember my mum doin the "i hope youve looked because if i come in there and find it your going to get such a smack!!"
naturally she found it strait away , and i was gone! down the stairs and out the door, i figured if i pushed the button in on the lock as i ran out the door she wouldnt be able to get me so i stopped running just outside the door!
but alas i forgot she could actually unlock it from her side!! i was about 9 i think.

I seem to remember hearing something about time outs being classed as mental abuse!!! Soon we won't be allowed to parent our kids at all if the stupid government has anything to do with it!
Speaking of our childhood discipline. With my Mum it was more about the build up to the smack with the wooden spoon than the actual act. She would give you the look, tell you to go and get the wooden spoon and then make a big thing about you bending over and pulling your pants down. Before the smack came I would be hysterical - the smack itself was nothing compared to the fear of the thought of it BTW, I have someone managed to stay out of jail and have not gone crazy ape bonkers with any heavy machinery! Who would have thought! 
Oh, and our 'wooden spoon' was actually purple and plastic after my big brother had the original wooden version snap mid smack and was stupid enough to be a smart arse and say 'Look mummy, now you have 2 wooden spoons'!

Mental Abuse that is absurd!!!
I don't see anything wrong with putting them in a corner facing a wall for a couple of minutes to (hopefully) give them a chance to calm down and think about what they have done.
and yup I agree it will get to the point where we wont even be able to tell our children off.
it will be interesting when Megan is a older and how she behaves in public.
Personally i don't think any parents should get a criminal record for giving their child a smack across the backside or leg..more often than not it is their pride(he child's) that is hurt. In saying that though I believe it should only be use as a last resort or if their lives are in immediate danger ie they have run across the road.

i think the government needs to really but out on how people parent their kids!
mabye their parents were really hard on them or something, but its pathetic for them to tell a entire country how to parent our kids.
what i am curious about tho is, if you were from eg: america and came to nz on a holiday, and smacked your kid what would happen?? i mean it is the LAW afterall.
do they tell you on a plane on the way into nz that its illegal to smack your child??
i think the goverment needs to focus on the BIG issues, rather than the little things that may or may not change things.
eg: if criminals fear the punishment of actual HARD time in prison they may think twice before doing it, rather than killing someone then being in and out of a cushy jail before their 30! its rediculas

I didnt get the whole story from this lady hense why i asked here!....
I could vaguely recall hearing something about TO becomming ilegal but also figured that this lady mustv done something a little more than TO so what she did wasnt really my point in this topic - it was whether it actually is ileal for TO...
I think that they are getting carried away with these laws

So what are they going to do if we all ignored the law and kept putting our kids in time out? They cant take kids off everyone or put us all in jail!!

I know at playcentre you can't put your kid in time out because the whole philosophy is that you can't exclude anyone from anything.

I think that they actually encourage you not to take the child totally out of the situation but to calm them down in the situation and let them sit in a chair right there until they feel they are ready to join the group again.
However that doesnt work one bit with McKayla and works her up even more to the point that you cant calm her down. Quickest for me to deal with the situation is take her to the library. Have a bit of a talk. Hear her side and tell her my side. Come to a compromise and then join the situation again.
Parents do use time out or what ever they find appropriate at our Playcentre still.

Actually most of the time the kids don't need discipline as such but more encouragement to share. I use time out at home tho and have used it there because Jack just lost the plot. In theory it sounds nice but in reality it just doesn't work and they understand we are just not 'suppose' to.
