I am spending Christmas with relatives. I may at some point be asked to baby-sit. They are in the habit of spanking their kids. I don't believe in spanking and would not feel comfortable doing so, even with the parents' permission.

How do you discipline a young child who is used to being spanked, without spanking? I am afraid the kids will think I am a "softy" and try to run all over me. I would rather not just resort to "Wait until your Mommy/Daddy get home!"
