Mark, Thanks for your warm wishes. If you have patience with me, we can have this conversation successfully. Just have patience. pun-ish - 1 a: to impose a penalty on for a fault, offense, or violation b: to inflict a penalty for the commission of (an offense) in retribution or retaliation Mark, what you say sounds good. But lets talk reality, can you raise your children your whole life without one single punishment? I'm not talking about knocking your kids senseless, God forbid. But just taking away a bedtime story, a timeout, taking away a toy or book, etc? Raising your voice? Lecturing? Spanking? Is it possible? I have 3 children and contend it is not. I'm sure no parent in this world could say they could get through a relationship with their child, throughout they're whole life, and not have to have punished them just once. Have you?????? Mark, talking to your child because he or she did something wrong, lecturing, is a form of punishment, isn't it? It's a repremanding (penalty) due to your child's behavior. It's a form of punishment that's just not a physical one. If your child does nothing wrong they get no talking too. But your lecture, calm or not, is a form of punishment, no doubt about it in my opinion..... Let's define punishment, OK? Steve
