AnswerIt would be better all the way around if you could devise a system of punishment that doesn't involve physical abuse because it escalates the situation, upsets everyone- even you, and perpetuates ineffective behavior. Everyone gets angry during an episode of physical punishment.

It's better to take away toys, privileges, TV, social time with friends, or isolate her in her room for a certain period of time. Time-outs are especially helpful for very small children. You should be paying attention to determine what of those types of punishments she dislikes the most- and use it. It is important to be consistent and make certain you enforce whatever punishment you decide to impose.

It is also important to make certain your child understands what she did wrong and why she is being punished.

this is not a great idea, if the 11 year old is just naughty, better to have a time out, ground, no tv, cell phone etc.. however, if the 11 year old is so out of control that these punishments have no consequence, a little counseling may be better.
