Ohh look now time out is bad

Lets see we can not punish our children because it may be damaging to their self esteem. And now we can not give them time outs either cause it may hurt the little darlings feelings.

Time-Out vs. Alternative Discipline

You cant punish them? Too bad I can and no one is going to stop me. You should be a parent instead of not being a parent for fear of these people stopping you...or whatever the reason is you cant punish your children

Is there really a "Great Debate" going on over using time-out? Seems like a pretty large overstatement to me.

Just what we need. Another generation of whiny failures. Just when are we going to learn?

The disaster known as liberalism continues, and quite frankly will not stop.

Exactly.

I personally just neg rep my children when they misbehave.

There are always debates over discipline in parenting circles. You are always free to discipline your child as you see fit, as long as you're not abusing them.
