It sure worked for me, I had a fat lip for a couple of days after my first experience with "sailor talk" as I tried out some words I heard my Dad say. Grandma was NOT pleased. Learned the lesson in one try.

If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Gov't, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin

I work with children, all kinds of children. I see the ones that refuse to learn for one reason or another, I see the ones who soak up every experience like a sponge.
I can tell the ones who have learned to behave because of experience and those who just simply would never cross the misbehavior line because it is just in their soul to do what is right.
There is a direct correlation between attitude, personality, self-constraint and home life, parental modeling or letting the children run the household with bad behavior. (DUH, I Know)
In every situation I have experienced, the child who wants to succeed and is reasonably well behaved, the Parents have learned to use the tools of parenting that work best for their INDIVIDUAL Child.
I have seen many who have never had a hand laid on them that are well adjusted, happy and successful. I have also seen students who have learned at the back of the hand, they too are well adjusted and understand that there are lines that define acceptable behavior.
My own son needed the hand more than a parental consultation. He picked up the idea that he was able to make his own decisions at a young age. The other side of a divorce seemed to want to sabotage the progress of the family unit which no longer included her.
Along with what Brokedownbiker said: I had a fat lip more than once, but never twice for the same thing!
I am not speaking pro or con corporal punishment in all situations, just reality and what NEEDS to happen based on the situation/personality!Do the right thing, because it is the right thing to do!Comment

one day we had a knock at the door. when i answered it there was a 5 year old neighbor boy there. he wanted to talk to the cop. after being assured that I was the cop, he gravely announced that his mother took away his bike and he wanted to know if i would arrest her. Equally gravely (was it hard to keep a straight face!) i told him that mothers could legally do that, so i wouldnt be arresting her for that. he said he was afraid i would say that, but just wanted to check. then he said thank you and goodbye. That kid is going to be a handful!Comment
