I don't want to make a list of all my awesome points but, what the hey, I have an ego like anyone else. Lol. I am highly educated, well traveled, well read, popular, easy on the eyes, surprisingly humble for someone who gets as much positive attention EFFORTLESSLY on and off the boards as I do (without attention seeking like some here, ahem), a comic genius, persistent, loyal, loving, hard working and highly capable. There is nothing that I cannot do, be it domestic, financial, business, intimate, social. As a result, since I have a lot to offer, I am highly selective which makes it hard for me to find the right person. Have you met Redmist? Wow! I was thinking the same thing... Are you Redmist's sister? ...

Topic:
Spanking as Discipline
|
|
I will repeat my thoughts on spanking from my post on the Scolding in Public thread...
"My children are grown and have children of their own and yes, I did on occasion spank them. When my younger son asked me about this when his first child was misbehaving, I responded with, "Yes I did spank you sometimes, but I wish I hadn't. Because the spanking had less to do with teaching you good behaviour and more to do with my own frustration." And that folks is just not a good enough reason to raise a hand to anyone...Peace..." flowerforyou |

Parenting is one of the most rewarding jobs a person can choose to do...it is also one of the most challenging.
Children will not always behave in a acceptable manner. That is a given. There are no golden perfect children. They can be spontaneous, loud, unruly and difficult to handle. They have not learned to always to act appropriately and are not yet in control of their emotions. It is the parents job to teach them the appropriate behaviors expected of them in any given situation and guide them in the right direction. Hahaha! Easier said than done! This means being the parent...NOT their buddy or best friend. They are not being cute when they disrupt and disrespect the space of others in a public place. No one is going to thank you for allowing your child to act like he is at the playground when he is at the restaurant. This is an opportunity to teach him manners and respect. How the parent reponds to the child makes a huge difference in how the he will continue to behave and mature. Learn how to say No and mean it. Setting age appropriate boundaries and expectations early and ahead of time will go a long way to making an outing a more pleasant experience. Put down your phones and be present with your child. This being said there will always be challenging days. How do you handle the meltdowns? First by doing your best to not have a meltdown yourself. You don't need to stomp or yell at your child. Talking in a quieter tone works better,get down to their level, have eye contact. Do your best to diffuse their frustration or distract their focus. If you are unable to redirect your child please, remove him from the situation. There is nothing so important that you cannot leave the area until the child is able to handle himself. That may mean returning in a few minutes or the next day etc...I have left carts of groceries behind when my children were unable to get it under control. Nothing is gained by yelling, shaming, threatening or frightening the child into behaving at a moment he is just incapable of achieving it. They are children, immature...growing and learning how to cope with the big old world. They need the security of consistant and reasonable guidance. Be gentle, be understanding but be firm. Parenting is an essential craft...usually learned on the fly, a hands on education. It can be exhausting...for both of you but so, so, so worthwhile. 
A note on spanking... My children are grown and have children of their own and yes, I did on occasion spank them. When my younger son asked me about this when his first child was misbehaving, I responded with, "Yes I did spank you sometimes, but I wish I hadn't. Because the spanking had less to do with teaching you good behaviour and more to do with my own frustration." And that folks is just not a good enough reason to raise a hand to anyone...Peace...
