 | k brian listen, your dad using a paddle is called child abuse. you dont hit a kid with a paddle. i only got spanked with a wooden spoon and that was the only time ive ever gotten spanked. now your method might work cuz the kid will be scared of there parents. if parents want respect they have to give it to the kid. let the kid curse, but when ever he does it, let him know that the words that he is saying are bad. write out a list of all the words he cant say or if he cant read, make 5 stars out of construction paper and put them on the refridgerator (and if you change a star, let him choose which color he wants)(i.e. if the blue star says no dessert or the green star says no tv) then when he does something bad change one star and if he makes it through one whole day without getting a star changed, give him a special treat like his favorite snack or let him stay up for a 1/2 hour after his bedtime. (Make sure that the stars are different colors like green, blue, orange, black, purple red, etc.) heres a color code for the stars Green= having a good day Purple=no dessert Green= sit in the corner Black= go get into your pj's Red= no tv Blue= no playing outside Pink= you're going to get a spanking soon Yellow= you're going to do chores instead of going to the movies with your friends tomorrow (PS use spanking as last resort) |
