[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do a lot of this with my son. I'm not perfect. But I completely agree that kids (anyone) habituate to punishment and it becomes increasingly less effective. And largely, it's been successful. I don't know if I would have had the patience to use this approach if I had had more than one kid. And he's 9. Let's see how this investment pays off in the crazy teen years. I don't know that yet. It's interesting too. I owned a dog before I had a kid. When I got the dog, all the rescue people said to use positive reinforcement. Don't punish. They don't understand being punished. We grew up punishing our dogs, so I had to unlearn everything I had seen. I did have to change a lot. And I had a much better behaved dog as an adult. And yes, I just compared raising a dog to raising a child. I see a lot of similarities. ;) [/quote] I mean, Alfie Kohn would have a field day with this.[/quote]
