[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 445701, member: 1991"] Exhausted, my mother did that to my older sister when she was little. She has never forgotten it - but now she is a very sensible and practical grandmother, still insists it was cruel and unhelpful. In sixty years, my sister has nursed her anger at the "dancing lesson" she was given. It may work for some kids, but not for others. I do think it is important to identify the underlying cause for the behaviour. Kids need boundaries, but often the difficult children have a lot of difficulty controlling their own behaviour; that is when lessons don't work, they only teach the child that they cannot comply even if they are motivated to do so.
