When your own child bites

[playfelt]

Many times with my own kids especially I had to remind them that "Discipline is my perogative". That meant if you had an issue with someone you could come and ask for help - you didn't always get what you wanted but the situation got resolved. In other words if a spanking was in order I did in not them. If they hit they were punished - discipline is my perogative. I am the adult. What I say goes. Too bad we have gotten the age/maturity/ parent role so washed down that it barely exists in some families. When children knew where they stood they did so much better. A lot less whining as adults too.
