She wouldn't ever tell us how long and it seemed like forever at the time!!!! I'm sure it was only a couple minutes:) I remember thinking I would rather cut my arm off than hold Shelby's hand. It was a very effective punishment because we would stop fighting after my mom warned us once so that we didn't have to hold hands:)<br /><br />--SheenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-75687944768549686282010-06-24T18:06:06.585-04:002010-06-24T18:06:06.585-04:00That is so great! you're wonderful.That is so great! you're wonderful.callyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125265961242085149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-4552976836851853692010-06-22T22:21:59.032-04:002010-06-22T22:21:59.032-04:00A lady from my homeschooling group told me about s...A lady from my homeschooling group told me about something she does called 100 Fold (or something like that). She keeps a list of bible verses that apply to certain behavioral problems then makes them read the verse a 100 times. For example her daughter had woke up in an especially foul mood & was being grumpy with everyone in the house. So she chose a verse that spoke of God's goodness & his majesty. She keeps a chart which has 100 boxes like a times table chart. She then had her read the verse then check one box. This helped her keep count & stay focused on what the verse was saying. At the end she said her daughters mood had competely changed because Gods word had filled her up. After that her daughter spent the rest of the day talking about all God had created. I havent used this yet, but I love this idea. I believe fully in the power of Gods word to change us & hey if it doesnt work the kids might learn a little scripture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-65736670044933338122010-06-22T15:46:30.559-04:002010-06-22T15:46:30.559-04:00We've starting writing sentences in our house ...We've starting writing sentences in our house and it's working like a charm! I also had my oldest copy "A Poor Warfaring Man of Grief" 4 times the other day because of an ugly attitude. I think there are 7 verses. That was a good one as well and I highly recommend this form of punishment to anyone with teenagers.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220411179750713336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-42490945335947111282010-06-22T14:24:08.890-04:002010-06-22T14:24:08.890-04:00Your blog is my most favorite blog on the entire i...Your blog is my most favorite blog on the entire internet.

Most useful dog I have (once in awhile).<br /><br />I was a counter... go clean your room 1.2.3.... that really doesn't work. I never liked spanking Dad's have a tendency to only spank when they are angry... thankfully Madison is experiencing time outs as opposed to my son's temper. I don't think its right for BIG people to pick on little people. I think explaining even to a two year old goes a long way... they need to learn why some behavior is not acceptable.<br /><br />ToOdLeS.<br /><br />ToOdLeS.ShEiLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439819553846591903noreply@blogger.com
