Question: how should you punish disobedient kids? 

Answer: Read "Dare to Discipline" by James Dobson, and "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk" by Farber & Mazlish.  There are a lot of really good books about how to be a good parent and the more you read them, the more ideas you will have about how to handle each situation.
