Mom to Mom
Ladies I've tried everything from time out to spankings and taken away toys. Nothing seems to help.
Why ! ! !

How old is your little one and what issues are you having? Sometimes the issue is simply that they're getting the wrong attention, not enough of your time, they're tired, hungry...it could be a million and one things.

My son is 4 but since the age of two, the only thing that works is sending him to stand on the corner. Regular time outs dont work, spanking doesn't phase him and toy taking doesn't phase him either. -
We need to know:
actual behavior issue
age+developmental stage
In the meantime, try to redirect him. If he's throwing books off the bookshelf, lead him to a different toy, etc.

Because you didn't order the factory-installed Voice Command software and there is no aftermarket product available...
Because controlling other human beings is not actually possible. All of the advertising (123Magic, etc) to the contrary, it's not possible now, and it has never been possible.
When people think they thought children were better behaved than they are today (and I specifically mean 'more controlled') it was because someone else was taking care of the children in the first place (so how the heck would they know?) or because the children were all 'out there somewhere' staying out of the Real People's lives until they were called to be fed (or let back into the locked house).
Take a look at old movies and notice how rarely the children, when there are any at all, are simply 'put away' or taken away by the nanny, housekeeper, governess, etc. And how 'normal' it was for children to be taking care of younger children when they themselves were only 5 or 6. How common it was for the children to be out and about with no one but other children. For the kids to misbehave and get caught, but run away from the adults in a crowd, hiding out together...
I would strongly recommend reading Alfie Kohn's Unconditional Parenting, or William Glasser's Choice Theory... or both.
