[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 164476, member: 1498"] Another thought is that if he already has anxiety, he would want to put an end to his punishment -- and your anger -- as quickly as possible. He would believe that if he's in his room for ten minutes, that means you are angry -- and rejecting him -- for ten minutes. That's an unbearable thought for an anxious child. If you spank him, you'll stop being angry -- and rejecting him -- in 30 seconds. That's certainly not the way we operate as parents but that doesn't mean that's not the way a child [I]thinks[/I] we do. [/QUOTE]
