I admit when my daughter was younger and still living at home, I tried everything with her. I removed everything out of the house that she would miss. I even took her bed and clothing out of her bedroom and even took the door off the hinges. It still didn't work. She simply did not care.
I admit she's extremely stubborn and when she makes up her mind that she will or won't do something, that's it. There's no changing it.
I admit I even spanked her and even that didn't work.
I admit for some parents they are lucky enough to have a child who will get by with just removing something or a time out. For others they need a heavier hand and then others, like mine....nothing at all works and you go insane and have a mental meltdown.
I admit I am one of those lucky parents where time-out works. I've seen in my daughters that time-out is effective, and that often they just need to cool their jets.
I admit that I do not judge parents that spank. Parenting is not something that can come from a book, and what works for some kids simply will not for others.
I admit that yes, sometimes, nothing works for some kids and parents. Children are not a separate species, or "small adults", they are human beings with wills and determinations of their own.
I admit I am also one of those "crazies" that think children have rights just the same as an adult. There is spanking, and there is abuse. Abuse is never to be tolerated or accepted.
I admit abuse comes in many form, from hitting, sexual, verbal, and emotional. There are parents who have never laid a hand on their children that will instead belittle them/scream at them/rape them.
