[quote=Anonymous]I would not do this. You're teaching your child that you will do something cruel (not just punishment) to them if they don't obey. When my daughter pushes too far, I do what a PP suggested - cut the bedtime routine off immediately and leave the room, letting her cry it out. If his crying becomes too hysterical, you can go back, and get him to focus on you and have him take deep breaths and count to 4 as he lets them out. Once he's calmed down, explain again that he does not get what he wants by throwing fits, and leave the room again. He may start crying/streaming again, but it's unlikely to become hysterical again and just leave him to cry it out. Eventually he will learn that needling you does not work.[/quote]
