[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1871066, member: 7488"] This. It's about teaching and logical consequences. Children learn from logical teaching and then start to deduce outcomes on their own. Treat them with the same respect you would a fellow adult. If you mess up at work, you boss doesn't swat you. He disciplines you (hopefully). Being a kid is a child's job. If they may mistakes they deserve the same respect, guidance, and coaching an adult would receive. It's terrible as a parent to see a child that has not had this, and starts doing half-cocked things like swinging a knife. What else is an officer to do? Having a 3 year old I could understand the emotions SgtMojo would have felt. I'm not trying to sound like an internet ninja, but I could probably drawn down and make a felony stop on grown man scumbag without any remorse. But put a "tween" boy in front of me and I too would be pretty shaken by it. [/QUOTE]
