Try telling that to the many families that have been killed by their own kids!

I whoop my daughter sometimes, but I explain to her why she got whooped and I do not yell at her. She does not do timeout crap, and I feel it's foolish to send your child to a corner for something bad they did... and will continue to do as soon as they get out of the corner. You have to explain to them why they got in trouble and punish them so they remember. If I tickled my kid for hitting my dog with a stick... what is that teaching them? That's it's funny??? So what are you going to do when they steal your car with a friend when they get older? Is that a time out too? Maybe when they drain your bank account for drugs and pawn your valuables you might understand what SOME parents go through.

I explain the rules, consequences for not following the rules, and follow through on them. So are you still calling ME lazy?

Walk a mile in person's shoes before you cast judgement...

I appreciate your view, but think it's a bit flawed and out-dated. I think "punks" are more a result of collective pressures. It's a societal problem, not a familial one. Feed their mind with what interests them, and they will grow wise and successful.


Here, my friend, you are SOOO correct. I bolded the part that is especially true.

My book uses this fact, in part, and would be honored if you would read it. It's linked in my sig.


Above is what You replied to...

You make this sound as if this problem runs rampant. Given the number of times I have heard of kids killing Their family members, I would recon that at most, one incident a year is a bit high on pegging the average.

Given this, and presuming seventy five million families in the US - with 300 million people, this is a good approximation, I'm guessing - that makes for a VERY small percentage. Statistically speaking, NIL.

Not so many, actually. And this then suggests that such problems are an aberration, not even remotely a norm. And no, One cannot solve EVERY problem 100%. Aberrations will still appear.

Y'know, I suspect that MY child would do none of those things. But I cannot answer the questions because a great deal more about the situation - Our relationship, number of times the behavior has been manifest, and so on - to come up with a strategy. As for tickling... Believe Me, just because there is laughter involved, does not mean the experience is enjoyable, desired, and sending any "funny" message. Most children avoid being tickled like the plague.

I explain the rules, consequences for not following the rules, and follow through on them. So are you still calling ME lazy?


I'm calling no One lazy here. Why do You ask?

I walked many such miles. I have a child.

Watch and read then because it's happened more then a few times over the past few months...

And in fact, I think "whooping" is a sign of a lazy parent.


Next time remember what you type...
