Crossroads: Discipline and Kids

There's a new study conducted by Tulane University claiming children who are spanked are generally more agressive in life. The study has been plastered all over the news lately, and it's literally driving me crazy!

With a baby on the way, Ryan and I have talked a lot about how we want to raise our son, so this topic is very relevant to me. I'd love to have your take on how you've chosen to discipline your kids. What works in your family? What has failed miserably? Do you agree with this study?

I was disciplined using spanking and I am not aggressive. My mother also talked to me and if that did not help she raised her voice. Most of the things in my case we resolved using communication and shouting an spanking were more of a last resort. I know people who were brought up without spanking and they had problems with aggression when they were kids. By not using tough discipline parents tought them they could basically assault another person and would never be hit back.
