Topic	I was hit as a child and didn't turn out fine
hockeybub89 02/27/21 12:21:30 PM #46:	cuttin_in_farm posted... What happens when they dont listen? When they realize the most youre gonna do is put then in timeout or take something away? Or when they realize youre too scared to do something in public? What do you do then? Sounds like you raised a sociopath at that point. What if they realize all you're going to do each time is slap them on the butt? Do you break out the ruler? Do we move on to punching them, maybe somewhere more painful? How far does it go? If your only option is to ramp up the violence until they are too scared or too incapacitated to continue breaking the rules, then you have already failed. If a child is old enough to be this cunning, then they are old enough to understand reason. If you wouldn't hit your spouse, parent, friend, teenage child, co-worker, or random stranger for not listening, then you shouldn't hit your small child. "If people won't listen to you, then you need to get violent" is not the greatest life lesson to teach children unless you're trying to raise a supervillain. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:951145982] in I was hit ...
