Tantrums

My two year hold is throwing tantrums. We don't know what to do any more. We have tried spanking, sending her into a corner, closed her in the bathroom until she stopped crying, took her Barney DVD's away. Nothing seems to work, in actual fact it is getting worse. Some days we feel like strangling her, we have no more patience. Don't want to go visit friends/family, we are afraid she will embarrass us. Please give advice.

Underweight

My son Dylan is nine months old. When I took him for his appointment last week the paediatrician said his under weight according to his head circumference. It's really bothering me, because he is picking up weight but when we went to doctor he was only 7kg. He eats and drinks his bottle, and i can't force him if he does not want. What can i give him in order to pick up weight? I remember in June he had ear infection and a fever, because he was teething. Could this be the reason that he is under weight?
