Punishing kids

derf · 11-01-2010, 07:01 PM

My son threw a fit in the store today, so you think taking away his halloween candy would work? Nope, he still was yelling and screaming so I took away his books. That shut him up finally. Now he finally stopped acting like a fool and is laying on the couch.

You know the kid isnt that bad when a bad punishment is taking away books.

My kid is like that: take away every toy she owns and she is still okay with it. Touch her books and she freaks right the eff out.

I think that is the one thing I have never taken away from my kids is books. I will take TV, Games, PC time, and actual freedom itself(make them sit in their bed and look at the ceiling). But, books stimulate the mind in ways that the TV or anything else they have never can. I am just not sure I could see doing that. Now, I have prevented my daughter from reading her specific series of books and told her to only read a textbook or something else of my choosing. So, I guess that could be similar to what your decision is.

I guess whatever works...

My kids get to stand there arms outstretched sideways at shoulder level balancing a phonebook on the back of each hand. While balancing on a bowling ball. Wearing roller skates. Not roller blades, old school 1976 fucking roller skates. And reciting the Gettysburg Address. In Russian. Wearing a three pointed hat. With an eye patch on.

very similar, I took the books away as a whole, hes in his room with one now, at 9 the lights go out and I take the book back. TV was the first thing to go

Belts are pretty effective for that too.

Ditto. Why is there an epidemic of parents not knowing that this works?

Everyone is worried about ending up in jail or on doctor f*cking Phil.
