I make my boy do push-ups. Spankings do nothing.
I don't spank my kids as much either. Tired of feeling like shyt after.
So we trying more advanced shyt. Told my 10 year old if he can't get right, he was gonna be sleepign on the living room floor in a sleeping bag. He kept "forgetting" to do what he was supposed to do and .... .
He straightened up quick after that for 2 weeks.
Wife also makes him run 6-8 laps around our section of the neighborhood now too. Started off with 2-3, but his endurance getting too good. 8 isn't even enough anymore. Think I'm finna make him do cross country.
Youngest is 5 but between his Tae Kwon Do instructor threatening to remove his belt stripes and the belt, he's straight. Also let him know that if he gets perfect behavior every day in school that he gets to choose dinner on Friday. That got him straight as well.
Spankings should be a last resort, not first resort. Some mufukkaz spank for every little thing which is a little ridiculous.
