[QUOTE="keista, post: 450012, member: 11965"] What your brother did to you was abuse. Plain and simple, and he knew it, too That statement alone, without a doubt confirms it. As it relates to your kids, the answer is quite simple. Assuming all are willing participants, but things sometimes go too far, everyone MUST realize that ALL games have RULES. With tickling, the simple rule is, that if someone says stop, you stop. It doesn't matter if they are laughing. STOP means STOP just like NO means NO. If they don't respect that simple rule, then game is over and some sort of punishment/time out/grounding is in order. This is simply because if that STOP is not adhered to, it does become torture, and it is considered abuse, and that person not respecting the boundaries of STOP is looking to exert their power or control. I tickle my girls ALL the time. The second they say STOP, I stop. They catch their breath, and we go again (with their permission). After a while, they are done and the game is over. And I just realized this is an old thread, so I haven't read any previous posts. [/QUOTE]
