What is the most imaginative method you've used to chastise your child?

My middle daughter used to use a spray bottle of water on her toddlers. Rather than yelling or spanking, if they commence doing something they aren’t supposed to do, she nail them from across the room with a stream of water from a spray bottle! It only really works up until the age of 2 when they realize that it’s kind of fun, actually.

Wish I’d thought of it!

Once, when my oldest was three, we were at my Dad’s pool at his condo complex. I had taught her to swim when she was less than two.
This day she was standing by the pool, lipping off to me. I was becoming angry. She was standing, with her little hands on her hips, just glaring at me defiantly. Normally I’d chastise her and put her in time out, but this time I just walked by and shoved her in the water! Sputter sputter! It was strangely satisfying. :D
