[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you even discuss spanking when its not your child.  You should not be doing immobilizing hugs.  You need a consistent routine, make sure he is fed with meals and snacks and predict his needs.  You are doing everything in a negative way and you need more positive reinforcement and reward for good behavior.  You are not his parent.  This isn't about what you can or will allow.[/quote]

I did one immobilizing hug when he refused to stop trying to hurt me.  Yes, he's small, no, he can't cause permanent damage, but he's not the one who was covered in marks, I was.  I will not allow any person, child or adult,  to hurt me, and I can't allow a child to hurt himself.  Yes, I immobilized him.  No, he wasn't hurt or scared.

I have been doing my best to keep a consistent schedule, but it's impossible.   There's something every day of the week that disrupts it, and then today was a snow day which threw the whole thing out the window.

His parents have expressed what they want the result to be, and they have the same philosophy,  which is why I am with this family.  I don't work with any family with whom i can't find commonalities.

Of course I'm praising good behavior.  At this point, I won't take him on any outings without a parent because I know he won't behave.  I've told him every single time he's done things correctly/welk, but there's no impact.  He just doesn't care if I like what he does.[/quote]
