Re: Twelve Things My Mother Taught Me. Number 7 is my all time favorite. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I said that very thing to our daughters......and they knew I meant it!
Today they tell you not to spank a child. But if your children KNOW that you will, you almost never have to really do it..........that's the beauty of it.
Kids recognize an idle threat and respect a genuine one. Justice, swft and terrible was my motto. We had two VERY well behaved girls. |
