When I was older, my mom was pretty creative in her disclipline--lots of extra cleaning, lots of writing apology letters and having to re-write them till they were grammatically perfect. She was a teacher. A few times I was grounded from reading because I was a huge bookworm that would read instead of doing chores or homework. My dad traveled a lot for work and his discipline tended to be more of the yelling-possible spanking scenario, but spanks were only for really, really awful stuff--I never got one from him! But my brother did for "big" events like major lying, etc.</p> <p>Eta: I got spanked by my mom as least twice that I remember (with the hand, over clothes, on the butt. And slapped once as a teen for "backtalking". eh. I didn't resent her for any of those, probably because they were very few and far between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-you-were-disciplined#post-2025207 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 11:07:52 +0000 artsyfartsy 2025207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grounded with extra chores for bad grades and such.</p> <p>Spanked (until I was 12 or so) for anything like lying. Then grounded afterwards.</p> <p>I will do time outs with my kids and groundings when they're older. No spankings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-you-were-disciplined#post-2025198 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 11:03:35 +0000 Mrs. Bum 2025198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess this question came about because I have a Lo who is in the terrible twos full fledged. Who out there remembers how they were disciplined as a child and why it was effective. You can certainly tell me your horror stories too but I want to know some truly effective ways of discipline, how they work and why! (I do time-out for most no nos after two or three warnings and we spank when necessary). </p>
