This is yet another reason why I have no spawnage. The idea of having to actually follow through on discipline? Fuck THAT.
"You're grounded." *Child proceeds to keep trying to sneak out of room* "....fuck it, whatever kid. Do what you want. They're your life choices."
It really is a double-edged sword. Most punishments end up making my life a lot harder. No screen time! (means nagging me that you are bored) No playing outside after school (means you are whining around my ankles while I make dinner) No party at so-and-sos this weekend (there goes my 3 hours alone at the mall)
How does the font and alternating margin justification keep the kiddos in line? She gets 5 beads for giving me a migraine. Whatever the hell that means.
I seriously cannot stop thinking about what my mother's reaction would be to this.
"Americans! So stupid!" "Mom, you're American now." "Whatever! Stupid!"
LOL.
I would hear, "Don't give me your American psychology" or when they would see/hear something stupid like the OP, my dad would say, "Welcome to America".
I don't understand that many warnings. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE AN ENTITLEMENT PROBLEM.
My mom used to start counting, and we NEVER let her get to three. Parents need to show the follow through, and you won't have a need for something like this..
When L was really being a jerk for awhile, I started counting to 3. And yeah, I never got to 3... I don't even know what I would actually do. lol. Just the counting seemed to freak her out and she'd run to do whatever it was by 2.
This was me with the counting. Turns out, when I get to 1 (I count down from three) I will make do X for you... And that is terrible for little-miss-independent 3 year old. Getting *carried* to the bathroom? The horror!!!! Mom choosing my clothes for me? CALL CPS!
It's seriously helped with compliance. I don't know that I would be able to get her in time out without a lot of undo attention and crying.
Wait what? After much squinting and head-turning, I THINK I understand this to mean that you get 2 warnings and THEN a consequence. Like there are only consequences for every third misbehavior. Recipe for success!
I cannot take anything written in comic sans seriously. I'm raising my dd to feel the same way. If she wants her son to take this shit seriously she should have written it in Calibri.
LOL. This is the kind of shit my school wanted us to do in regards to discipline.
Today H heard me use my quiet teacher voice on Ollie when he wasn't listening and told me it was "stone cold terrifying" lol.
My business partner is a former teacher. I've never seen my kid stand up straighter and listen harder. I love it when she gets her teacher voice, shit gets done.
Haha it's funny because my H assumed my voice would get louder, but nooooo. Nothing is as unsettling as a clear direction given in a hushed tone with just a slight smile.
Wow - yeah - this has been around my FB feeds for freaking ever. I have not made it because I would forget I had such a thing and then find it molding or something in the back of a cabinet...
I have not made it because I would be throwing it at the little shit by warning #7.
No. It's anxiety inducing and breaks down self esteem. We have major issues with S' class and behavior charts. I can't imagine doing that at home to my own kid. This will bite your friend in the ass, guaranteed!
Moms who count to 3: what do you do when he only starts to comply immediately AFTER you said 3. Consequence? No consequence? My kid likes to live in this gray zone, you know, to add a little spice to life.
