I think in your situation I would make notes of every infraction the 9 year old makes across the day, then at bedtime while it's calm do the first spanking, nice and easy, PJs down. Use your hand only at first, but you have to continue until the dramatics die down, when he's quiet, then explain everything he has done over the day that this punishment is for. keep it up, You will know when to stop, don't doubt yourself and stop too early.

As for privacy, you need to ask yourself where it's needed, you'll find that at home neither child needs much. Boundaries are barriers for behaviour. A 10 year old does not need to close bedroom doors, lock bathroom doors and so on.

Take the boys cellphones if they have them so they can't contact their mother while they are angry. Then reintroduce but monitor what they message. Encourage nice words like happy and enjoyment, avoid negative words.

Is the next visit the 3 week block?
