[QUOTE="weaselqt, post: 75848, member: 3989"] Ok, I have to tell you of a punishment I did to difficult child 2. Brushing his teeth became a HUGE battle in my house. I had to do it for him! He was 11 or 12 years old. I got TIRED OF THIS!! I mean, come on! So, my punishment was to take away his tooth brush for two days. I did not tell him that I was taking it away until he realized it was missing. It took him 4 days to come and say, "Where is my toothbrush?" FOUR DAYS!!! I told him that he was grounded from his toothbrush for 2 more days before he would get it back. OMG! He was SO MAD AT ME!!! He went 2 more days without it (we also hid all the others because he would have used them to prove a point) - but guess what, IT WORKED!!! I may say to him, "Brush your teeth." - but it is only once or twice and I do NOT have to do it for him either. I guess that was a cruel punishment - yucky to say the least - but it worked. He finally had a desire for it and when he couldn't have it - he had to do the time!! He thought I was crazy - of course, so did difficult child 1. Now, let's go to difficult child 1's punishment: She would NOT pick up her clothes off the bedroom floor and I was tired of washing and rewashing items SEVERAL times because they got dirty or she coulnd't tell which ones were dirty. I told her that if she left her dirty clothes on the floor again and did not put up her clean clothes, she would wear what was on the floor every day for a week (of my choosing and it was the same outfit every day). Well, to say the least, she put her dirty, stinky shirt with a spaghetti smudge on the front on the floor the VERY NEXT DAY!! Guess what shirt she wore all week! Good thing it was summer time - but she had 2 outings that week that had already been planned - and yes, she tried to back out but I wouldn't let her. She didn't do that again. Her room is nice and clean - for 4 years now!!! LOL - some of the things we try! A friend of mine wouldn't let her daughter wear make-up or hair products for a week as punishment. I can't remember what she did, but I do remember seeing her daughter at church on Wednesday and asking her mom of B* was sick - that is when she told me what happened. her daughter was in HIGH SCHOOL!! Everyone does interpret punishment in different ways - including how the Bible puts it. But I agree that they do need consequences to become well rounded people of society (we can only hope and pray!) Thanks all! Nice to see what ya'll think! [/QUOTE]
