Then I sat in my chair. I had them stand facing each other, on both sides of my legs. I put my hand on top of each of their heads and said "The punishment is you have to look each other in the eye." Within a minute they were crying and hugging each other. They still remember that and have used it on their own children. It works!

Our son, no longer anywhere near toddler age, was the perfect kid. At the age of three, out of the blue one evening, he decided to give it a go - read "have a tandrum." After lying on his back for about 20 seconds kicking and waving his arms, and screaming, honest to god, he got up, walked into the kitchen, climbed into his highchair, and APOLOGIZED to me! Yep, he said, "Sorry about that mom, it won't happen again." And it never did... LOL! Never had a 2nd (child), figured God wouldn't be so generous the 2nd time around LOL!

Creative punishment is far more effective than corporeal punishment. Plus it lasts longer, so the kid has more time to think about it. Time outs are very useful, but I think of them more as mommy time outs than kid time outs. In other words, when you can't stand them any longer, send them to their rooms! It gives you time to be creative, and calm down. I’m a big fan of letting the consequences suit the crime. Creative punishment is far more effective than corporeal punishment.
