if it taught the kid a lesson, i don’t see the harm in it. the only thing i don’t know if i like is that, at the end, she seemed like she wasn’t even happy about it. it was like she was more afraid of the punishment than her future. you can punish a kid, sure; but it’s pointless if they aren’t seeing exactly what you are trying to teach.

just sayin…

@Blaine Moore: Here here!

As long as her daughter was being watched (to prevent kidnappings [oh and on that note, OH BOY WOULD THAT SET HER STRAIGHT!], of course) then I don’t see the problem.

It was a very very very good point to be made, and that is one smart mom right there.
Some of the ego bitchy kids today need to learn a thing or two.
Hell, even some of the ego bitchy “kids” of the previous generation could use a good deflation.

Great article.
Absolutely great.

How dare you suggest that punishing our children?!? That could hurt their self esteem. Every child has to be the best at everything, even if they aren’t, so that they will feel good about themselves. Heaven knows what would happen if kids were instilled with a sense of personal responsibility or taught that their actions have consequences!
