I'll not talk long, but i'll respond later. I have a daughter and she is annoying sometimes. But sometimes she's like a gift, like an angel from God. The question for you is how do you feel about that, when your child is getting annoying? Will you hit his or her butt? What is your style when your child is naughty and you feel you need to give him or her a lesson? What kind of naughty doing did they do? And what do you like from you child, what kind of skill or other sweet behaviour? What will you do if they acted nice? And is there other way without hit them if they are naughty?

I like your question. It reminds me of a question my children asked me about a year ago. I talk to my kids almost just like I speak to anyone else. My oldest (son) has a bad temper, usually try to read his moods before he acts, I tell him to just go for a walk, greatest quality is he is a wonderful listener. My daughter very funny, but also likes to talk very much and doesn't really think before she acts. When she starts doing stuff like that... well, I tell her to think before she speaks, or to annoying... um, honey... leave me alone, for just 5 minutes, you are talking to much for me right now. She laughs, understands (thank god she knows she talks to much), tells me she loves me and walks away.

You have wonderful children. I am also wanting to have a child, but after about 5 years later. By listening your story i feel i am ready to have another child. Lol. And i am hoping on it.

You should train up the child through just punishment, as humans are shaped by positive reinforcement, a child is also to be corrected, but not excessively. There is nothing bad in corporal punishment such as spanking as long as you know the limits.

I agree. Spanking is may, as long as not too hard. But no slapping. Thanks for the comment.
