One time at about age seven I was chit chatting with a friend while waiting impatiently for my turn to perform. My dad hauled me out of the theatre and I had to sit in the van for about 20 minutes until it was my turn to play. I quickly learned respect for the performer. From then on I always show ultimate respect in any setting where the viewer should be quiet. What slays me now are the adults that loudly talk or whisper during shows or even at the movies, someone should take their gum away ;) jk.Jessica Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194844926930436984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-77743550562594828322013-05-17T12:22:04.208-07:002013-05-17T12:22:04.208-07:00That too often is the problem with punishment.

Unfortunately, it turns out that what kids remember is that their parents did/said this or that, and how upset they were. Not exactly the original intent.Hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-86531724190600708892013-05-14T17:27:49.236-07:002013-05-14T17:27:49.236-07:00Interesting.

The problem (for you) is that for her that wasn't a negative, as she was probably about done with what she could handle... I've found following natural consequences to be much harder on myself than on my son, although they really do have an impact on his future choices.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514068114974638440noreply@blogger.com
