My 7 yo has gotten kicked off the bus AGAIN! (he threw something) So for punishment, i made him do some of my chores since i have to wait around for him tomorrow for an hour to pick him up. This lead to massive screaming , crying, backtalking, and a tempertantrum that i'd rate a 8 on the "I'm close to losing it too" scale. I held him on my knee until he calmed down, all told, this fiasco took nearly 2 hours (over a 10 minute chore) Does any one have any ideas on ways to deal with a child that's driving you bonkers???? I don't need to be told to spank him , we tried this tactic years ago and all that happened was he started spanking back. There are moments i am tempted, but i know it's not the answer. Thanks.
