If your kids are bad now should they get...

it depends on how bad your kids are and if you know that they dont deserve that gift at all. try to talk to your kids' behaviour.

Every child is different and the way they grow all depend from us. My kids have psp and nintendo but they are not aloud to play it during day time. They can play it in evening for a while and only if they were good. If they don't listen or have problem with a homework they are not aloud to play them. They ever not aloud to watch tv. If you are going to let your kids to play it all the time or to watch tv all the time than you will be in trouble. They must to know if they want something they must to do something for this.

Well this wouldnt happen to me because I wouldnt allow it....My kids know better than to even attempt to walk all over me and the never will attempt it either...BUT IF it were to happen I guess how I'd handle it would depend on a few things...for example how long it was goin on for...if its something that had been goin on for yrs then I'd be seriously kicking myself in the behind for it because bottomline it'd be my fault...IF however it were something new and was possibly connected to a change of some sort in the family (divorce, moving, new baby on the way) OR in my kids life (new school, trouble at school, puberty) then I would handle it according to the situation and nip it in the bud IMMEDIATELY...would i take away or take back one of their major Xmas or Birthday gifts etc...well if they didnt straighten up and get a grip after having a serious talk with them and even giving them a few reminders then hell ya I'd take it back and I'd make sure they knew it too (when the time came) and why....OR I would keep it, NOT give it to them but let them know that they COULD HAVE had it and if they get it together then maybe I'll get it for them....once they show a consistant change in their behaviour THEN after a certain amount of time, once I was satisfied then I would give it to them with a friendly reminder that I can take it away again if they go back to their unaccpetable ways...

It depends on how "bad" they are or have been. Alot of people I've heard are buying them for "family gifts" rather than just for a certain child. I personally think it's just too much $$ to spend on something that will be outdated in a yr or two.

That's a tough call. I know I always regret doing nice things for my kids when they act up like that, but in the end I'd feel bad if I took away Christmas presents. Christmas is still a long way away, and the behavior could change by then. I think you need to find alternate forms of punishment to let your child know you won't stand for this behavior. Take away video games he currently has for a week and see how his behavior changes. Take away TV priveledges and any other thing he may be looking forward to. Once he gets the idea that you're not messing around, you'll see a quick attitude adjustment.

I wouldn't take it away, it has a lot more effect if it is sitting there and they can't touch it. You've got an awesome weapon for manipulation here. I say use it.

amoisan if your kids are walking all over you, this just didnt start now, so you need to start sticking up for yourself, and meting out some punishment like taking away game privleges for a certain amount of time, or t.v priveleges.Also I would not spend that much money on any child or children for Christmas, cut it in half or more. this way you will not add to the spoiling you already seem to have done for your kids.Even if I were very wealthy I would never spend that much on kids presents for Christmas.
