[quote=Anonymous]For little kids, for repeated hitting or biting, or repeated and deliberate defiance, which sometimes did include getting out of bed over and over just to drag out bedtime, or for actually lying about not brushing teeth or something else, then we would administer the old fashioned spanking. The non-angry, dispassionate, over the knee, spanking.

Yelling wasn't much of a problem, nor refusing to share.

When people say "logical," consequences, they tend to mean intimately related to the offense. I don't see the reason why that's a criterion. But maybe it originated from very anti-authoritative parents who don't want to see themselves as setting and enforcing rules, and imposing judgment, but rather simply officiating the game. For example they won't punish for lying, per se, because that would mean they have to pass judgment that lying is wrong. Rather, they'll just say that the logical consequence is you can't be trusted.

Personally, I'm OK with teaching right and wrong, and punishing as necessary to deter further wrong behavior. [/quote]
