That doesn't seem to be working does it? Look around at the monsters such policies have created. They run their own homes as if they were little fifedoms. A backhand acrosd the mouth would do wonders.Back in the day that we paddled the kids they were better behaved. Now they think they can beat up on anyone they like and no one can touch them. What they really need is a good whack.
.
Actutally, today, we use something called "POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT". It's so crazy! Kids act good and you compliment them instead of waiting for them to act bad and hitting them.
Our child isn't a monster.
We used time outs when she was young, taking her phone when she was older and now we take her car from her.
However we don't have to actually do those things. We just have to tell her the bad consequences of her bad choice.
I tell her how proud I am of her all the time.
She's 16 and will start college on Monday. She will have her first 2 years of college done by the time she's finished with high school and transfer directly to a university of her choice at 18. She will enter that university as a junior not a freshman.
All of her friends took the test to be able to go to college early. Our daughter was the only one of all her friends to pass that test. To be able to even qualify to take that test, the student has to have at least a 3.00 gpa.
Our child has never been arrested or even had a parking ticket.
My husband and I have never, ever hit our child.
