Stop the spanking: Supernanny offers better ways to discipline misbehaving children

On the latest episode of "Supernanny," which aired Nov. 6, Supernanny Jo Frost had to deal with something she doesn't exactly enjoy. Frost has made it well-known in a few episodes that she does not believe in corporal punishment, including spanking.
