[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depending on the issue and gravity I escalate the consequence- usually cut off Internet/electronics privileges.[b] If it is pretty bad, I resort to spanking[/b].[/quote]

You're out of control if you're resorting to spanking. If you're taking away electronic privileges, that means you have a kid that is old enough to understand directions and to regulate. You need some other strategies beside taking away electronics and hitting.  Find a parenting coach or class to enroll in now. [/quote]

Not PP but disagree that you're out of control if you resort to spanking. PP is the parent. If child chooses to continue to disobey they need to taught who is in charge. Taking away electronics is the way to go. Electronics are optional and kid has to earn the privilege. [/quote]

The problem with taking away electronics as a punishment is that it also punishes the parents.  My kids' electronics time is the only peaceful time I get all day long.  Thus, I'm reluctant to impose this as a consequence.[/quote]

And your kids know it. When we take electronics kids are told to find something to do or we'll find something for them. If they refuse to cooperate then the electronics suspension lasts longer.[/quote]
