I even reserved yelling for severe situations. It's not because I'm a saint of a parent. It's because I noticed that if I only yelled at him when I needed to, it worked better.
I couldn't spank a kid even if I had to. I pushed a kid once when I was babysitting. He was wielding a golf club, with which he had demolished all the windows on the first floor of the house. He came at me with it. I sent him flying. I was maybe 16. He was evil.
