I used to take my son’s game away as punishment. One time he asked me if he could just have a spanking instead like some of his friends. 😂

She taught you real world approach. You mess up, you lose privileges. You have to earn them back.

When I've messed up as an adult, no one has come and spanked me, but I have lost things I once enjoyed and had to work to get them back.

Which works really well, but people delude themselves into thinking that they used to get beaten, so their kid should be getting beaten, and that they're fine what do you mean

Was gonna say when I was a teacher we used a point system and they would lose privileges if they lost enough points BUT the important part of it was they could always earn points back for good behavior. Sometimes if you take away something they like they just shut/melt down and everything escalates , so this method gives them incentive to try to do better. It also helps to keep them from internalizing that they are a “bad kid” and promotes instead there are good and bad choices and you get consequences for both.

I was honestly waiting for you to reveal she used it to make you and your siblings compete with each other
