There is a little muscle between the shoulder and neck that you can squeeze. I'm sure your mom would have never used that on you, though........thakidistight said:Its called a wooden spoon.....all you gotta do is pop him on top of the dome once...and from then on carry it in your purse....next time he starts actin up, just pull it out

Yeah and beating a child won't screw them up in the long run? So I guess evertime you do something wrong someone should beat you?vraiblonde said:Okay, so we've got one person who thinks the woman that lets her child hit her is the only one who deserves to be raising children.
And we have another person who says give the kid treats to get on his good side.
And we STILL can't figure out how kids become asshead teens that we read about in the newspapers when they shoot up their classroom.

Just a quick FYI: I didn't beat my eldest enough but I have since learned.

But wait, there's more...
There are some kids who not only need a good solid, country boy ass whippin', but they actually learn from it, too, and in those cases, they probably don't need it very often. But there are others that even the thickest of switches won't make a dent in (figuratively). My only hope for all kids is that their parents possess enough sense to try other discipline techniques when the current method's effectiveness expires or lacks results.angel_lex21 said:
Because they're not these spoiled little brats who threaten their parents when they're being a butt. And they weren't raised by parents who appeased them out of fear they wouldn't be their best friend anymore, or wouldn't love them or whatever reason parents cave in to children and turn them into vile little beasts that make people lobby for child-free restaurants.Just Me said:

Right on both counts. I've said it before and I'll say it again: My parents rarely hit me. Because I knew they would. They never enjoyed doing so, but they didn't fear it, either. Maybe I'm a quick learner, but it didn't take many broken wooden spoons to teach me what I wasn't supposed to do.
But there are children, and situations, that sort of thing isn't the right approach for. Sometimes you need to get creative and look deeper for the problem.
That's pretty much it. Spankings are for little kids. I think by the time a kid hits maybe 5 or 6, the days of physical punishment should be over. By then you should have established your authority and dominance, and a talking to or restriction of some form is the way to go rather than a swat. Plus their brains are starting to fuse and you can communicate with them in better ways.bohman said:
We stood ours in the corner, and still would if they gave us crap. My son's favorite story is how he came back from boot camp and I made him stand in the corner because he wouldn't stop wrestling with his sisters in my living room.
When I see some beleaguered Mom in the Target with her out-of-control 10 year old demon seed, I know I'm seeing some little Mommy who wanted a best friend rather than a son or daughter and now she's paying the price.

Yeah, I use the "Vulcan death grip" on mine too when I feel that he needs his attention refocused.

I friend of mine got ito it one night with his teenaged daughter about doing the dishes and the kid called social services. They came over and her told them to go ahead and take her. Kid freaked out and totally changed the story she was telling SS.
