[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 41501, member: 1514"] I so totally agree with Linda on this one. Having a kid rage or behave completely inappropriately and then want to come up and ask for kisses and hugs to make it all better teaches absolutely nothing. This doesnt mean that a parent doesnt love the child but it means that a parent has feelings and emotions and by golly, those feelings and emotions do get hurt when someone stomps on them. Is this so different than what most of us have done when the kids were babies or toddlers and they started pulling our hair or smacking us in our faces? I know I simply told mine in a stern voice that it was "owie" and it "hurt mommy" and if they didnt stop doing it I would put them down. Didnt take many times of me putting them down before they stopped playing that game. You can tell an older child that their behavior has upset you but that you love them and will talk to them in a little bit. Not a thing wrong with that. [/QUOTE]
