[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A normal parent would have whispered in the kid’s ear to settle down, quickly use the restroom, and then leave the store. When kids act up, you take them home. You don’t cause a scene. You lecture the child privately. You never reward bad behavior; you just go home.

WTH is wrong with people? This is why we have such poorly behaved kids and adults: bad parenting. [/quote]

How about you parent your kids in a way that's effective for YOUR kids.  I'll parent mine in a way that's effective for them.  [/quote]

DP. I do get that different kids need different things, and that parenting styles are really not that important, but is there ANY research that suggests pushups in a public place is an effective discipline technique? Or anything similar to pushups in a public place? Particularly a place that might be a little humiliating like a bathroom floor?

My mom used to make me clean our bathrooms as a disciplinary technique.  Quelle Horreur.  How humiliating.  [/quote]

Are you seriously suggesting it's basically the same thing?[/quote]

You clearly want to argue about it, but honestly, don't you think the parent knows what's best for her child?  She took him into the bathroom because it was more private.  MYOB. [/quote]

No I do not always think parents know what's best for their kids. I think parents often just assume parenting is intuitive, but it's really not. Kids will do better when parents search out skills and attitudes toward parenting that are backed by research. But this very well could have been what was best! I don't know. [/quote]
