When we griped things were taken away. It's what I do
w/ my kids (we foster and do respite care). If they whine, complain, or
anything they lose a "privilege" for a week. Every so often we have
a week of nothing but eating, sleeping and homework.
Keep in mind we also
reward greatly for good behavior. We try to make the rewards much better
than the disciplines.
Parenting is hard
work.

Subject: [QUAD-L] question for parents
do you have probs with kids griping 24/7?? my 7 yr old son does
on everything....the commercials, the pc won'tt go fast enough, his toys won't
work right, bed at 8pm is too early... i didn't have any of that when his
age.....just unbelievable...
i think i'm going to tape him to a chair as if he were disabled like me for
a day and see if that clears it up?? you think??
he has no appreciation for anything. i have tried to make sure he learns to
value everything, well it ain't working anymore!
he worked yesterday out in the yard and earned 5 dollars, today he won't do
anything without griping, back tackling or mumbling under his breath. all of
which i used to do until i got backslapped one good time (age 15).....i don't
want to have to do that..
HELP PLEASE!!!???
