every child is different
in our household growing up we were prepared for growing up,,
there were 4 primary lessons:
1. With privilege comes responsibility
2. with responsibility comes authority
3 every choice has a consequence
4. parents had earned the most privilege and held the most responsibility in the house so they set the rules, each one has consequence when broken
there were some offenses spanking worthy: choosing them is choosing the spanking
there were other offenses that were worthy of grounding : You make the choice, you suffer the consequence
we always had choice
as far as in public,, there was always a bathroom we could retreat to
offenses were dealt with upon discovery,,,
I follow the same suit with my own children
