But reading books, coloring, or doing other constructive activities are far better than using a computer. If my daughter was told she couldn't go outside but she could use the computer, she would see that as a bonus. If she was being punished, I can't turn around and reward her with computer time (which in our house is a privilege).
I'm just curious why that was wrong?  |
I'm not Fallon, but I think the problem she was having was more to do with: she had already punished the girk, and DH added another punishment on top of the one she had. Her child is very young as well.
To me, it goes along the same lines of a toddler that takes another toddlers toys. One adult should correct the problem, not 3 adults at once.
