Ok so this post is regarding the controversy over how to punish your child. I have 3 Boys, ages: 6, 4, and 2. I am still struggling to this day to find a form of punishment that works. We have tried whoop ins, time-outs, redirecting, and of course talking. none of it seems to work! Maybe i am just doing it wrong. Time-outs seem to have the best affect on them. Believe it or not spanking them doesn't even phase them. Its just the frustration that i go through during time out time is enough to make the top of my head blow off. I suppose it would get easier in time, but it is a very hard things to stick too. My kids absolutely hate being in there room for some reason. So i am now doing time outs in there...they spend the good amount of their time out time..kicking the door and screaming. I guess that means they hate it..and in turn will act right when they get out. I wish i knew the magic way..or the magic word. I went to parenting classes and at first was excited about them because i thought they would give me some sort of idea on how to raise a child, but unfortunately they did nothing of the sort. How do they expect parents to get it right when there is no way of us knowing how to handle an out of control child? I dunno i wish when you hit the magic 1 year or 2 year stage they offered free classes at the health department or something for you to go to and learn good technique i think alot of child abuse and child neglect would change if they did. Neways i am gonna put a poll on my blog here on the right side column asking what technique worked the best for you, and of course if you had any other punishment you used that worked well comment me and let me know about it!! G-day!
