 Re: Are these advisable tips for parenthood? | |
Swearing-pepper on the tongue, being messy anywhere in the house-unpack and repack a cupboard, shouting/screaming at each other or slamming doors in anger-lock in separate rooms for a decided time, 1 child is seen/known for being unfair to the other-lock in room for a decided time, (After punishment, the child is asked and then explained why he/she deserved to be punished).
Mostly some of these. I would never put pepper on my childs tongue unless it was a LAST resort, but in my opinion it should never get that far to have to use as a last resort.
I also do not personally agree with "locking" a child any where. Of course time-outs are appropriate but "locking" eeks that just sounds harsh to me. Its kinda of like these parents I know (friends even) that will lock their 3 year old in her room at night so she can't come out. It just seems cruel to me. My dd is 1 1/2 and she is in a toddler bed and is not locked in her room. If she wants out she comes out. Granted I put up a baby gate so if she ventures off downstairs in the middle of the night she can't get out of the stair well and can only come in the hallway leading to our room. |
