my title for my post was not to be taking literatly
i also didnt see your post as harping at all just some people are more senstive to displine then others. i also look at my up bring i was spanked for every wrong doing; my younger sister never got more than a 2 day punsishment and she was the one to get in serious trouble, me? i stay on the straight and narrow so im a firm believer in displine of some sort..i did feel bad when you reminded me he was trying to help..but his helping skills are ..lordy..costly..lol he took my new cell phone and gave it a bath in the toliet to make it "shiney and brand new" for me..lol |
I guess maybe you are right because I am not a believer in "woopins". I STRONGLY believe in redirection and positive reinforcement and my children are truly a joy to be around....comin' straight from their mommy's mouth.
For my children, time-out works so I will stick to those things for around here. My 2 year old son is also a handful (typical toddler boy) but if I knew that he was prone to grabbing the water bottle, like you say your son is and I did not put it where he could not get to it, then I think that I should be the one sent to my bedroom for the punishment not him.
