My grand daughter turned two in October and in spite of her compelling beauty, she gets spankings for misbehaving or tantrums. Then, after the spanking, she is put on the spot for two minutes (one minute for each year of age). She wants to avoid the spot more than the spanking.
Recently she was visiting at my house (I am POP) and got put on the spot. After about 30 seconds of sitting on the spot in silence she put her face in her hands, folded over and put her hands on her knees and then started saying "I need HELP. Somebody HELP me. POP why won't you HELP me!" It was all I could do not to run over there and grab her up and "HELP" her!
Now that is just too cute!
I do want to add concerning the spankings: I did spank my children when they were younger and now they are between 5-10 and I can take them anywhere and not have problems. I can't tell you how many times I have been complimented on how well my chilren act at the table or in the store. My boys automatically open doors for ladies they don't even know. But it started when they were little. It was a trying time for me but it sure did pay off! of course, we still have those teenage years to go.

I, being the mean mother I am (jk) when they were two, I did swat them on their behinds. I liked the switch because it would sting enough to get the message across but would not "harm" the child. A belt will hurt the bone. I never want to do anything like that. When they associate the tantrum with the stinging, they will stop if you are consistant! But in the mean time, we shall start a prayer chain for you for the next couple of years! LOL
Much appreciated, can you start it right now?
Daane's got a very strong will, as most do at that age I think. He gets put in the crib for two minutes when he's bad and he just howls! I've only "skited" his bum a couple of times... both when he kicked me over and over while changing his diaper. He stopped. .needless to say.
My parents never used anything but their hand.. and boy does that sting!
Bro Phil... Daane was two Oct 2nd... my baby Asher was born Oct 6th.
If my husband finds out your grand-daughter is beautiful he'll want to set them up. He's already picked out a couple future wives... I hope Daane doesn't marry them all!!! His other stipulation for our sons future wives is wealth.
(he's only being HALF serious )

Yes... we'll just keep the prayer chain going after my kids are out of their toddler stage... for your teens!

Sis,
The key to the timeout or on the spot treatment is that he time (2 minutes) does not start until there is silence... no whining on the spot!
thanks for the compliments about my girl
Gotta go ... church tonight.. ya'll be blessed and I will pray for Daane.... and his mommy!
You can give little gentle swats far earlier than that. The key is not to be angry, and don't let them win!
