From the Drew Spiehler school of child-rearing...*

Remember folks... spare the duct tape, spoil the child.

*for those of you that don't get this joke... My buddy Drew had a habit in college of solving the annoying habits of his roommate, Ringo with duct tape. Charity and I walked in after one such incident to find Ringo taped quite skillfully to a large floor lamp. Charity said to me "Why is taped to a lamp? Should we help him?" to which I replied "No. He probably deserved it."

Edited to add: I'm reasonably sure Drew would never do this to Ace. Well, at least not until he's a little older anyway...
