[QUOTE="devilish, post: 2146133, member: 17552"] For my 2 coppers (before this thread is sunk into the sea) ... It's all in the delivery --- when my parents hit, they were usually angry. When they grounded, they were calm and methodical and passing sentence. I knew a fellow who spanked his kids but said he always did it calmly ... sent them to their room after the incident, talked to them about it, and then delivered the punishment. While better than my parents, this still rubbed me the wrong way. With my kids, if they do wrong, they get [B]THE GLARE.[/b] If after that, they keep it up, they get sent to the corner or their room. I can _feel_ the impulse to spank them well up in me sometimes, thinking "this is the only way the message will sink in", but I push it aside. To my surprise, I have found that the "time-out" and [B]THE GLARE[/b] work wonderfully. It even helps with the "running into traffic" -- I can give [B]THE GLARE[/b] at a distance and they stop -- as opposed to "You get back here right now, mister, or you'll get a spanking!" YMMV, -D PS I don't look down at 'spankers' (I'm sure that has other connotations in the Queen's English :confused: ) -- to each is own. Just 'splaining why I chose my way. [/QUOTE]
