Discipline or Behavior

The question is how do you discipline your child?  Hollin has been testing us a lot lately and quite honestly I don't know what to do.  We do the best we can and sometimes I wonder if it good enough?  Is she learning her lesson?  How do we know she is getting what she is doing?  The parenting and discipline debate is a topic of conversation in my daily life.  Remember I am a teacher and I deal with kids everyday, kids who are all disciplined very differently.  These are the type of kids (based on discipline):


1. The "teacher pleaser"-- The kid who NEVER gets in trouble.  They are perfect.  You know you will never have to talk to them about anything other than positive.  You wonder what their parents did to make them perfect, how do these parents discipline???
2. The "slipper but learner"--The kid who slips and occasionally gets in trouble but stops as soon as they are warned.  The most you ever have to talk to them about is talking. Again, how do these parents discipline so that their kid understands NO or STOP?
3. The "sneak"--The kid who gets in trouble and more than occasionally.  They test you to make sure you know what you are doing and if you are paying attention. What method are their parents using and do they know it is only working to a certain not so good level?
4. The "naughty but cute"-- The kid who is naughty and you have to talk to them a lot but they are so stinking cute so you just don't get so mad.  These kids typically have the same name (which I will not share to avoid offending anyone).  What method are they using?  Do they know that their method stinks and it does not work at all? Or are they confused or not as tough because they know how cute their kid is?
5. The kid who is horrible, they are not cute, they don't get the point and continue to push the buttons all the time.  Do they EVEN discipline their child?

So my fear?  I do not want my kids to fall into any of the categories above beside #1!  I guess we could settle for #2 as well!  I really want Hollin to be perfect!  Does she just do this for us?  What method of discipline do we do?  I know a lot of people are for Love and Logic but I am not sold completely.  So what to do?  I want my perfect angel that I love and adore but today... today was rough!
