You want to boast about it on the internet headlined by the question, "did I go to far" then don't expect everyone to affirm your byzantine tactics. This poor kid is gonna need thousands of dollars in therapy now. I hope you all are happy.

Jfeld,
Thanks for coming back and explaining.
I already put out my thoughts on win=win situations, book title too.
Doing positive things with children gains trust, and really makes for much more fun. Establishes LOVE.
I've also said my piece about using violence on children. It only perpetuates an insanity. There are better ways.
btw...you're not on my ignore, for what that's worth. I agree with you that it's up to those that know how to break the "Byzantine tactics" share their methods. If they don't, it will only be passed on to the grandchildren, and theirs.

Spare the rod....spoil the child! One of many reason for our lawless society is the parents inability or incapacity to interact and raise their kids. Loving your kids doesn't have to be punitive.

Timm,
Two of your key words stand out.
"Interact", and "loving". Works every time!

Timm,
Correct there. Ignore works.

Look at this i go and have dinner with the kids and my Gender has changed.Listen to respond to our poster at no point did i ever physically or mentally abuse our son.as far as having a bad day this incident that broke the camels back occured while we were at the park on Saturday.In my parents house my brother and i ate what was on the table.What was taken away from our son was luxuries not neccesities.Today he asked me if we could go and get him a library card which we did.I dont deny my children anything within reason.i'd much rather take my approach than the ways of some of the parents of my brothers pupils.The 1 example i'll give you is my brother was called into the principals office because a child accused him of hitting them.There he was face to face with the kids parents when the kid confessed that my brother did nothing.The principal excused everyone and the parents didn't as much tell there child to apologize to my brother and they didn't either.The sad thing is the principal told him i'm sorry you had to go through this.Those parents were 1000% wrong by not making there child responsible for there action right then and there.Anyone out there want to deny that?
