 | sometimes when the parents disagree on the punishment it confuses the child, this may be why she acts out. that can be solved by getting on the same path, your husband and yourself. good luck it is hard, i am against spanking my husband isn't. we don't spank, we agreed on that before we decided to have kids. i am a stay at home mom and do most of the discipline anyways. as for non spanked kids being out of control i would say that you misunderstand. my sons have not ever been spanked but they are in no ways over-indulged. we have rules and i am very stern with them about breaking the rules. my older boy loves to play outside and if he is naughty he has to come inside. it is that simple. if he is naughty out in public, we come straight home, immediately. i think that we are such a go go go society that part of the problem is that our kids are terribly over-tired. we my son misses his nap, it is hard for him to control his behavior sometimes. i see it a lot with my friends kids too, taking them out when they should be home resting. my husband and i skip a lot of parties and outings when we think the kids need to be home and in bed on time, that is just the way it has to be for a while. as for the woman who spanked over a thrown sippy cup, try just not giving the child juice next time, he will learn amazingly fast that when he throws his cup he doesn't get it anymore. good luck to everyone, i hope all of our different methods work well for our kids. by the way i was spanked as a child and don't feel i was harmed emotionally by it i just don't think it works. |
