These stories are fascinating to me!
I have teenagers, and I think by the time they reach a certain age, you can't slap their hands when they start to do something bad, can't spank them. That's when other discipline methods, if you've used them, come in handy. Teenagers are very good at persuasion (most kids naturally find that power at some point) and you have to rely on your power of talking, reasoning in order to keep up.
