1. Do you feel that children these days are disciplined enough?
Some of them aren’t! I work at a clinic and some kids are into everything and some kids aren’t!
2. What are your thoughts about the “time out chair?”
I think a short time-out can be effective. It separates them from the naughtiness, for a little while, anyway.
3. When YOU were a child, what form of discipline did your parents use most often?
Probably the swat on the butt! When I got older, it was more talking, though.
4. Did your parents have to constantly remind you of the guidelines they set for you, or did they just have to LOOK at you as a “gentle” reminder?
A “gentle” reminder? LOL! My mom’s glare could have cut through glass, but yes, it did make me behave!
5. What are your thoughts about screaming kids in public places?
Somebody needs a nap! LOL!
6. What do you feel is the BIGGEST mistake parents make when it comes to disciplining children?
Probably making a threat and not following through, or giving in when kids whine too much.
