GREENVILLE, N.C. - About a year ago, I started my AnchorMOM blog on wnct.com.

It's all about the daily challenges and funny moments I have as a working mom of two little ones.

Now, every Wednesday, we are going to have an AnchorMOM segment, to help you with the same situations I find myself in nearly every day.

This week, Dr. Sandra Triebenbacher joined me to talk about discipline; spankings, time-outs, what's ok and what's not ok.

Two of our AnchorMOM readers had a couple of questions that they asked on Facebook.

Sherri Webb Davis asked, “I have an 18 month old son who has an enormous amount of energy and I also have a month old newborn. What is the best way to handle my 18 month old son when he seems to want to test my patience?”

Meanwhile, April Howard Houston asked, “I would love to know what the pros suggestion is to do when spanking and timeout doesn't work and the child has ADHD, Aspergers or Autism?”
