This is just psychobabbledegook.
Of course we should correct. (the writer’s definition of discipline)
Of course we should not retaliate. (the writer’s definition of punishment)
Psychobabblers hold definitions hostage. I find that entirely too punitive.
Yup.
Discipline comes from the same root word as discipleship...it is instruction and teaching.
This piece is nicely put together...hardly qualifies as psychobabble ( and the world has enough of that)
I disciplined my children and they turned out very well. I could have done the same thing and called it punishment, and the results would have been very much the same.
This is complete nonsense.
We used the 1-2-3 method with our kids. Count to three and (the book says give them a time three minute out at three).
My wife did straight cadence and the time out. The kids would ignore her.
I did a spanking at three (three swats to the arse). Varied the cadence to keep them on their toes. Works like a charm every time. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to spank both of the kids.
When I start counting they hop-to to whatever I wanted. My wife...is ignored and she can’t understand it.
