[QUOTE="Christy, post: 152733, member: 225"] Okay one more comment and I swear I'm done posting about this and moving on! I did pull over as soon as it became safe to do so. I did get out of the car and tell him that I was waiting for him to calm down. The child safety locks were engaged the first time he went over the front seat and out the door. The second time he never go in the car. As for a learning experince. I do think he was shaken up a good deal from the experience. Do I think it will have any lasting inpact? Nope. So then why do I think a consequence will help if the experience didn't? I don't. Taking things away in the car makes me feel safer and the other consequences are punitive; ie, a reaction to his behavior. He deserves it. I may sound like an angry parent here but I am actually very fair with him. And, he has plenty of atttention and positive things to do even without his toys and such. We live in a society where we are held responsible for our actions and I feel like this was an occassion where a consequence is in oreder. But, I was obviously second guessing myself because I posted and asked for everyones opinions. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to think this through. Christy [/QUOTE]
