I wish I had read this book 15 years ago when Sam was a little boy.Lyndy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502571052655781801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513009290974311349.post-5710251811292604442010-08-19T14:11:34.069-07:002010-08-19T14:11:34.069-07:00great blog and post. i grew up in a house of span...great blog and post. i grew up in a house of spankings...and am a firm believer in what's wrong with kids today could be helped with a little more spanking...in schools especially. (my dad was also my principal). but i think with kids you have to find what punishment works best with what kid. time out can be great...if it works. i have one kid (i blame on being born under the sign of taurus the bull) that is so hard headed and you could beat until she was blue...but it wouldnt change her behavior. taking favorite things away (like tv or computer time) works better. my fav punishment comes from my parents...for siblings fighting with each other...they have to sit on the couch and hold hands for a period of time. they hate it, and i think it's funny. <br />penni bentleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513009290974311349.post-20958591310051332252010-08-01T21:35:10.321-07:002010-08-01T21:35:10.321-07:00We do have different consequences for different &q...We do have different consequences for different "offenses". Lying always gets the worst consequence. It's important for us that our kids take responsibility for their choices, accept the consequence, and not compound the problem by lying! I think it also breeds an environment for confession and teaches the importance of transparency. <br /><br />I don't know if you've ever read the book "Shepherding a Child's Heart" by Ted Tripp...but it helped us move from simply handing out consequences to teaching them how to look into their hearts and deal with the root of the problem....something many adults haven't learned how to do!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373859479385249842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513009290974311349.post-79295831894736542010-08-01T19:44:50.993-07:002010-08-01T19:44:50.993-07:00The room of mosquitoes definitely works.

Children, surprisingly, do understand when you talk to them, and tell them why hitting brother in the head with his toy was wrong. So... for a system...<br /><br />Separate them, have a quiet time with mom and dad, sitting them down to talk about how brother could have been really hurt. They have to feel bad/guilty for their behavior. Treat them like little adults/people. Then let them spin the wheel, lol, j/k. (she liked the wheel idea). Have them apologize to the injured party, in this case brother, then continue through with the consequence/spanking/time out/ect.<br /><br />After all is said and done, there's no easy answers, and with all those little ones... lets just say I'm adding you guys to our prayer list.<br /><br />P.S. She really thinks your kids are soooooooooooo cute, and thinks you guys are doing a great job and prayer does help... a lot. lol. She thinks you need to write a book. :)Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430902641623068819noreply@blogger.com
