is this a good way to dicapline my 8 yr old girl???

Question

if my child forgets to take a bath every day should i ground her amd spank her untill sthe neibors 7 doors down can here srry im not joking im being 101 % seroise plz help !!! iv only done this 5 times

Answer 1

I agree with the first poster, if she forgets you make her. 8 year olds will play all night & into the morning if you don't direct them. You can't really expect a 8 year old to be able to follow a schedual on their own. A schedual is great idea, however at lest say 7:00pm you need to stop her from what she is doing and say "bath time".

Save the spankings the neghibors can hear 7 doors down for more serous things.

Answer 2

You're the parent, you should be reminding her to take a bath. She is only 8 years old a bath is really not that important to her. I would not spank an 8 year old she is a little old for that. Try taking things away from her that she likes.

I don't know about you but when I type in these answers they tell me when I'm spelling something wrong.

Answer 3

t is the responsability of the parent ot set a routine for the child until it becomes second nature. I set wake up to bed schedule every day and they may sleep a little late on the weekends but not past 9 am becase then it off sets everthing, try a schedule with parent kid activites and very little tv time and you will see improvement in the attitude and health of your child. Violence is no solution if you must punsh a child try a time out or a removal of a favorite toy. Do not yell, get down at their level and tell them why they were punished and why it hurts you to and then ask for an apology only when they say sorry are they allowed out of time out or the toy returned.

Answer 4

Definitely NOT! I respect you, but I guarantee that this is not the right way to handle this. Make sure she bathes, but even if she misses one day, it's not the end of the world. Try teaching her that she has to bathe, but do it as a responsible adult. Your child will grow to be afraid of you if you continue doing this. Neighbors will call the cops, so don't let even the simplest things get out of hand that could lead to abuse. Your child might do this to her kids to, since this is u r her example. It's okay to spank her sometimes, but not that much. Don't ground her either. Just set the rules, and she should follow them. Hopefully.

Answer 5

Mominla . . is it really necessary to insult this person? It appears that she is obviously looking for help and not your ridicule.

My daughter is 7 and you do go through a period when they think they can do for themselves without you monitoring them. I would suggest talking to your daughter about the importance of personal hygiene and maybe making her bath experience a little more fun to anticipate by buying her some special scented bath soaps or gels of her choice that she can look forward to using. Maybe even purchase a girly towel or a bathrobe too. While agree the discipline does have its place in these cases, sometimes making things a sweet and girly experience is all that is really necessary.

Answer 6

At 8 girls need to be reminded and encouraged to have a bath or shower.Children dont think about hygiene so its up to you as aparent to encourage her to take a bath even help with the hairwash.Also you need to be aware that hot water can burn kids. Do not spank her for forgetting.This is notgood idea.

Answer 7

My daughter wants to go to build a bear or Libby Lou Libby Lou, gives Hannah Montana makeover They are other, that do make over for children I was thinking about a movies party, I am not sure how that works, but all the theater I go to offer them My daughter will be 8 in march

Answer 8

Lol... different strokes for different folks. I know how frustrating kids can be. That may be a little extreme though. Take something away from her she really like such as the phone, i pod, PlayStation, barbies whatever gets her attention something she thinks she cant live with out then maybe she wash her stinky butt. and screw the lady who says you cannot spell that had nothing to do with your question so obviously she has problems reading.

Answer 9

Are you sure you're an adult? Your spelling is awful. That aside, it is up to you to make sure a child takes their bath. Of course she is going to forget. She doesn't want to take the bath! Whatever you do though, don't even think about spanking her. That's called child abuse if you don't know.

Answer 10

What? Spank her for making an honest mistake? If anyone in the house needs a spanking it's YOU. Be the adult, if she forgets, march her little butt into the bathroom and make her take one.
