*I think pc was alluding to the fact that blocks sometimes seem to shockingly come out of nowhere. Cuz old PBC's(outdated warnings) get forgotten.
I still think there should be a warning B4 a block. A warning in the SAME thread. If not IN the thread, then via b-mail.
I don't just slam punishments on my kids, I warn them first, remind them, give them a chance to correct their behaviour, then if they choose not to, tho I have pointed it out, then they be punished.
Also, I still thing this increased length thing is cruel and does not serve much purpose other than a wielding of power. Its sort of the difference btwn perhaps punishing a child vs a swat vs a full on spanking vs beating them w/a belt.
Is a belt appropriate? Where does one draw the line?Or perhaps a better analogy.
Putting a child in a chair for a time out vs locking the child in their room vs locking them in a cupboard all day vs locking then in a shed all night.(out of sight/hearing, out of mind)
If I can't/hear/see my kid out there in the shed in torment, so what? I can quietly go on with my day in peace. The other kids don't get disrupted.
Better to keep that kid in the shed awhile so she doesn't bother the other kids.....
If we lock her in often enuf....rpoly she'll settle down...or maybe run away, and that solves the 'problem' too....
