Disciplining children is another area that American parents have differing opinions about. Many parents feel that an old-fashioned
spanking helps youngsters learn what "No!" means. Others prefer alternate forms of discipline. For example,"time outs" have become popular in recent years. Children in "time out" have to sit in a corner or by a wall. They can get up only when they are ready to act nicely.
訓誡孩子是另一項引起美國父母們爭議的議題。許多父母覺得老式的責打能夠幫助年幼的孩子明白：父母說「不」就絕對禁止去做，然而某些人則較贊同其他形式的訓誡方式。例如：「隔離法」即是近年來頗被接受的方式，被隔離的孩子必須坐在牆角或是牆邊，除非他們肯乖一點才可以起來
