What is the most severe punishment you have ever given your child?

What do you do with your kids?

My child isn’t old enough to talk yet, let alone write, but when he is, will certainly be employing that tactic.

Also my parents made us do this thing where you hold your ears and basically do squats. It looks ridiculous, is not easy, winning combo!

Up at regular time.

Raked our half acre, alone in November.

Hand scrubbed garage doors.

Cleaned every baseboard and wall in our house.

3 mile jog every morning. This might not be punishment, depending on the kid, but made up for missing gym.

Of course his room was deep cleaned.

He got meal breaks.

Class work.

Walked and cleaned up after the dog.

Then read books during the rest of his hours.

Dad?
