I've just upset quite a few women on another forum..
one was talking about how her 10 year old son is being a little brat and upsetting her.. blah, blah, blah..
so I suggested that instead of prising him when he's good ( like letting him go to a party that she'd told him he couldn't, if he was good ), that they ought to try punishing him for being bad..
a clip round the ear or a smack when he's playing up...
a smack never did any of my or previous generations any harm and the ASBO culture of hoodies in gangs only seems to have come up since they banned coporal punishment from schools and made it virtually illegal to hit your own child.
Q.) your 5 year old child throws a pot of paint that they were using to paint pictures, all over your nice tiled kitchen floor / pale dining room carpet. Do you:-
1.) Say "nevermind, accidents happen" and clean the mess up every time they do it.
2.) Give them praise for not being constrained by the boundaries that society tries to put on them, and for making such a good piece of organic art.
3.) Say "Oh [childs name here], look what a mess you've made, don't do it again.." with a stern look on your face.
4.) Say "That was very naughty!!" and then take them to the naughty step for 5 minutes.
5.) Make them clean it up.
6.) Give them a smack and make them clean it up.
