[QUOTE="buddy, post: 467663, member: 12886"] I took the "not punishing" comment to mean more like what happens at my house...Not using punishment as a primary form of teaching appropriate behavior. We dont want kids to just STOP doing things, we want them to do the right thing. Some kids need help learning those skills. Some kids, like mine not only dont have the appropriate skills, but can't access the breaks to stop inappropriate behaviors when they come to mind. Punishment is like banging one's head against the proverbial wall, but I never stop trying.... A consequence or threat of one may stop a behavior short term but it rarely works long term in our house. I wish it would, things would be so much easier. When he is consequenced (many times per day) it is in the form of a logical consequence and not being able to earn whatever it is he didn't earn with the appropriate behavior. (throw your gameboy at me, no more gameboy,it's mine for X amount of time) (didn't take your trash out, didn't earn your tv time) (if you dont play gentle with the neighborhood kids then you dont get to play with them today) and on and on. so, I took it as a comment to think outside of the box. am I wrong about that? I can't imagine any child not having any consequences or corrections. (which I think she clarified in a later post) [/QUOTE]
