I have punished quickly when I knew for a fact that they were guilty of the offense, without a doubt. If there is any possibility that they arent, or theres a miscommunication about there actualy being an offense at all, I will discuss the point in detail before the punishment is done. Usually by the end of it, they feel so guilty if they actualy did do somehting wron, the punishment is almost unnecessary. I have gotten snappy with Angel over things that werent truly offenses before, and apologied afterwards. Unfortunately, stress can shorten ones fuse, which is why I avoid actual physical punishment unless the offense is a major one. I have nothing against admitting I can be wrong. I have nothing against apologizing. However, Angel knows this and some of the others I have known would hav ebeen better off learning it, if I am open enough to admit I made a mistake, and you throw it up in my face... we are going to have problems. My 2 cents DV
