Mmmmmmm .....


Oh wait, substitute? Sorry ... *ahem* Carry on.


Personally, I think duct tape and rope have uses that don't involve the pick-up truck.

dirty dirty!

duct tape, velcro, and the 3 wise men are the perfect babysitters...

For the moment my nephew still believes in Santa Claus, so when the holiday season appraoches we tell him that if he's bad he'll only get coal. To illustrate this, my sister left toy coal in his stocking one year because Santa was warning Ean that his behavior hadn't been that good. This was one of their more clever ploys, usually my sister and brother-in-law don't punish him as well as they should. He also had acid reflux when he was little, so it's not like they could ignore him when he cried.... thus starting a bad trend.

yeah if hes in the corner harli gets jealous and wants to do it. i dunno how the xmas thing would work for him cause i already got his present and i ah maxxed out my alotted "spend on the sisterlings". i had originally planned no more then $20 on toys and $20 on clothes.... then i saw something soooo perfect... Guitar Hero III bundle with wireless guitar at big lots only $50 (which was damn good cause anywhere else it only went on sale as low as $72 and i got 20% discount, yay! family event discount!) so i got it for him. though it'll be a stays at grandma's cause it'll be a wendy harli bubby present.


whaaaaaaaaaat? its fun trying to pretend to play the guitar and for once i want to do more then my brothers demos with the regular controller. and i always think its a good rule of thumb to never buy toys you won't play with yourself. so harlis bday will be a barbie dream house....

we also used to give the kids a grade/age appropriate work book and make them do pages when they where bad...
but so that they did not associate school type work with being bad we also made it so that if they wanted something special " x " number of pages = " x " number reward... like time on the playstation or watching tv/movie

normally those activities are reserved for the weekend so if they want to have the "special stuff" they had to make the effort to get what they want.

the thing about the xmass money is also is that if they are not at the money level they cannot play on the playstation or watch movies/tv
the boys start off with $100 each
we started that the 1st week of november and the eldest was at $50 by the end of the 1st weekend lol... both of them are now back up to $100 so they are now on the playstation as i type


but with my kids... spanking only worked when they wore diapers cause it was the shock factor not a pain thing and corners NEVER worked

[DrT]

Lines, corner, spanks... I think it's about getting the right combinaison and being able to adapt it to the times
particularly, the point is to observe the child and know what he really doesn't like.

right now, for us, tis the Xmas money. we put on the wall the amount they were going to get, then started taking money away for bad behavior and giving some back for good behavior. works so far.
Some other time it will be something else

[Vanima]

thats what i do in the classroom when i sub..

if a student is acting up.. he gets a sheet of paper and has to write lines. i never say a word to him...


if he doesn't do them.. he goes to the office... last school i was at.. the principal walked him back in and stood over him while he wrote

[Londubh]

ooh! i like that idea! Lines. A certain amount of time, or a certain number of lines, whichever takes longer.

[Vanima]

make him write.... lines.. or just write..

don't let him stop.. watch him.. if he stops add on 5 more minutes...

his hand will eventually fall off

[Leffy]

the corner thing tends to result in us having a headache. because then he starts to tap or kick the wall. and his little smartass will ask how else will we punish him when we yell about it. kids kept up a record too. 3 hours looking at the corner before we decided to take him off. even then it was only cause he fell asleep standing up when it was quiet for five minutes o.O

[Londubh]

yeah. my nephew ENJOYS spankings. which has my sister freaked out. how do you punish someone that enjoys it?

By finding something he doesn't enjoy. Such as enforced boredom (the corner thing)

At a certain age, it's not a punishment. He's very advanced, yes?

harli..... just likes to push it. she's very well behaved for her age but she loooooves to see how far she can go when the mood strikes.

I dunno.. my mom tried it.. but couldn't figure it out
