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.

When it comes to discipline, Frost is actually more of a believer in children sitting in time out for one minute per year, until they have been in time out for as long as the age they currently are.

But, the parents in tonight's episode, "Phelps Family," did spank their children and didn't follow the time out rule.

The family consisted of the parents and four boys. At one point, one child fell down the stairs, but luckily avoided serious injuries. The parents fought often and Frost tried to help with that as well.
