[QUOTE="Thatoneokieguy, post: 4373844, member: 45314"] Hate to say it but this is what happens when we demonize certain kinds of punishment and resort to finger shaking. I'm 41 and when I messed up as a kid, my parents passed me around like a poorly rolled joint whooping on me until they made their point. To this day, I've never sat in the back of a cop car. My wife and I have a 6 year old and a 1 year old. The 1 year old is still learning the ropes because well, he's 1. The 6 year old we've had to paddle numerous times in the past. We got got nailed down to the "pre paddle mom and dad look" now so she pretty much knows the boundaries of right and wrong. She's a good kid. I've had 2 older women get into me and my wifes business about disciplining our daughter, both at Walmart (imagine that). Two sentences was enough to straighten their eyesight and continue them along their way. Different times don't have to lead to different types of situations. Dont ever lay a hand on a child out of anger, just keep your cool and let them know who runs the show. [/QUOTE]
