The other reason I like it is it's very subtle, so when I'm at the store and having "issues", it's something I can be sneaky about without anyone accusing me of beating my child! Sad day when I feel like I have to watch that so closely.<BR/><BR/>I also find flicking their lips effective when they sass. Maybe it's just me, but the ear twisting for not listening and the lip flicking for talking back helps them know exactly what they did wrong - again when subtlety is necessary.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255532553760304422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-22920170739886435062008-05-31T20:20:00.000-06:002008-05-31T20:20:00.000-06:00I'm still wondering if our kids aren't related som...I'm still wondering if our kids aren't related somehow. They have so much in common!! I haven't tried the ear twisting, because, unfortunately, all three of mine have had severe ear problems. We just have days when they don't speak English... I know they hear me, but they don't "understand". Kids...

Sorry, but the ear twisting stays - I find it very effective because of the direct correlation to their "hearing-related" issues.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255532553760304422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-64650859102891490572008-05-30T10:32:00.000-06:002008-05-30T10:32:00.000-06:00Darla it is called "selective" hearing. no wax im...Darla it is called "selective" hearing. no wax impacted or any hearing aids needed. I remember Brother Bow saying that being consistent was the hardest thing in parenting and also the most important. Keep it up. I'd find something besides eartwisting though.Mrs. Wizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887886180747765784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-85194145774202197482008-05-30T01:40:00.000-06:002008-05-30T01:40:00.000-06:00Nope...Jenna learned that if she kept her mouth sh...Nope...Jenna learned that if she kept her mouth shut, she got out of the corner quicker.

Rachel found it a little more difficult to keep her mouth shut while in the corner, Jenna just usually took her measure of punishment with a resolve and served her time. I found it to be a great tool of discipline. I don't remember Rachel's longest stay, but I am sure it was over an hour because she kept beaking off. Good luck and keep it up!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830152332595760689noreply@blogger.com
