As I said above, my husband and I did NOT use actual cornertime beforehand when either of our girls earned a spanking. Instead we used something similar we called "alone tome," which came primarily before, but also a bit immediately following a spanking.

When one of our girls did something that warranted a spanking, we immediately used a stern voice to stop the behavior. We then immediately told her she was to get a spanking, and we sent her to her bedroom. Alone time before a spanking was not very long, probably just 10-15 minutes most times, but this was, in my opinion, very important for several reasons.

First, my husband and I agreed that alone time gave them a bit of time to reflect on their own before the spanking. Once a spanking was pronounced, it was crucial to follow throigh. This was how my parents handled my spankings, and to this day (almost 37 years since my final childhood spanking), I can still recall the waiting and dreading the spanking that was sure to come. More importantly, I remember sitting on my bed, thinking to myself how easily I could have avoided all the woe, anxiety, and fretting over the terrible sting to come had I simply used my own better judgment. Even at age 12 (when I got my final spanking), I didn't understand that these thoughts were part of a self-discipline that I needed to use in the future. I have no doubt our girls did some similar fretting and reflection during their own pre-spanking alone time.

The second reason my husband and I belived that 10-15 minute pause was important was so that we could use a bit of time to calm down and prepare ourselves for what needed to be done. There's lots of discussion of never spanking in anger, and to a great degree I believe that's a good goal. However, there were plenty of times one of my girls did something that had me seeing stars and there was somtimes a temptation to spank immediately. So, after she was sent to her room, I was always able to sit down, breathe, and calm down enough to prepare to spank properly.

Let me reiterate, my husband and I both absolutely HATED when we had to give a spanking. However, I will add, we learned that little girls are not always made of sugar, spice, and all things nice. While that alone time for mom or dad was important to calm down, I never let it make me so sympathetic that I let one of them out of a spanking. And even though my husband doded on, and treated them like true "Daddy's Girls," when he decided one needed a spanking he similarly took that 10 minutes to prepare himself. Then, we went to the bedroom where a naughty girl was waiting to follow through)...more in another post.
