Penni, I agree wholeheartedly. One of the most effective punishments when I was young was to have my father return from work to the tales of my misbehavior. He would, after a time, and sadly (so it seemed to me) take me into the basement, have me lean over the bench and spank me with a thin paddle. I never remember it hurting, but the ritual aspect was extremely effective, as was the knowledge that he was very unhappy about having to do it.

Hi Penni, that makes sense, I wish I could say I was anger free when I whipped out my belt on Ryan after he crashed a hole in a four foot window, but alas I can't. Thank God the kids are generally responsive to my booming voice when they get out of control. I try the military techniques. TEN HUT! NOW REPORT WHY YOUR NOT LISTENING TO MOM!! A bit of a joke but it actually works ok. :-) I'm not sure I agree with you about the teachers. I think it depends on the offense. A big paddle hanging in the principles office was a pretty effective deterrent when I was in grade school. As long as it's ritualistic and for a serious offense I can deal with a few paddles. Michael
