[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 150402, member: 3626"] Yeah, you could have done all of those things and I bet you will next time. Don't beat yourself up about it, though. That's how we learn. As to the no dinner, it wouldn't have hurt him and maybe taught him that he can't throw food around -- especially not rice since there is a shortage today. I know that with my daughter, I had to follow through on the consequences I gave her or have a darn good reason (I said it out of anger and was wrong with a sincere apology) or lose a lot of credibility. Feeling sorry for her was never a good reason to cave in. She'd use it to her advantage and let me know my word was worthless. So, be very careful about doling out a consequence and taking it back because you love him and want him happy. It can backfire. [/QUOTE]
