Hopefully B turned out ok in spite of his parents' not putting ANY consequences on him. :/Happy Elf Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667229356119236492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-22344085825411919642014-01-05T23:49:39.520-06:002014-01-05T23:49:39.520-06:00I can see where boring errands would be more effec...I can see where boring errands would be more effective than grounding, but I also see it as a great learning experience. The kid gets to see just how much goes into the running of a household. <br />Items 3 and 4 on that list? Never did them. Rewards for good behaviour were usually dessert of the child's choosing or a TV program of the child's choice. <br />I don't recall having discipline problems, my kids were easy going just like me.<br />I did ground one son when he was six, he went missing for a whole afternoon with the boy from across the road. His routine for the next week was school and home, no contact with B, and we made him stick to it. B's parents had no hope, that boy was all over the neighbourhood, he ignored his grounding completely.

If he's doing it because he hates grocery shopping, what did we just teach him if we leave? PS. Missed you!

I do believe in taking that one child who is misbehaving or being disrespectful aside or out for whatever discipline action you deem necessary but NEVER ruining the entire families evening due to one selfish child.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436764764797493783noreply@blogger.com
