How would you discipline a child stronger than you?

I don't try to control my children or make them belief the way I do. I don't punish them if they don't follow my mold. I do teach them respect and honor. I teach them tolerance and I teach them to be humble. I teach them how to react to their emotions and to the emotions of others. I do not resort to physical or emotional punishment. I set a good example and I give my children the space to learn and grow. I would hope that if they had super powers and super human strength that I would teach them to use it for good, long before they would get upset enough to resort to violence, with me or with anyone...

OK I have to be a little biblical, the bible states that if we spare the rod, we spoil the child. Now I am not saying one must beat up on a child but when the child requires a spanking, give it to them and it it means a time out then that is acceptable to. One can also take away things a child love to discipline a child.

It is not the child as a teenager that you should worry about. All of the ground work with regards to this should be done during childhood as this means that they will learn the boundaries much sooner than the time that they become stronger than you. Assuming that you have done this ground work, your child should respect you enough when they are older not to use their extra strength against you. I know that I am stronger than my Father for example, but yet I always take instruction from him if there is any reason for me to need to.

I'll probably follow how Clark kent's parents raised him. Shower them with love and affection and they'll grow up to be the greatest superhero this world has seen.

Honestly, I don't know how to answer your question here at all. I bet you that you gotta read a lot of those comic books, and you might daydreaming one of those superhero from comic books. You might think how could your parents tame you down if you suddenly gain a super power of your own. Could that be a cool thing?

I just try to teach their children and respect. I can not control them at any time so it is very important to teach them different things. It is important that we can educate the rest do not know. luck and success. nice day!

hi carefully very carefully . ]this is hypothetically of course, but out think them , out smart them and make them think before doing naughty things.Surely an adult with moderate intelligence can out think even a super power brat. maybe you would have to carry a weapon but try brain power first. lol

I don't really think of taking care of children as "controlling" or showing that you have "authority", but more like inspiring them and advising them on the ways of life. You can never really control another human being, but you can help them learn the ways of life. They're there to make their own mistakes, and learn from them, and all you really can do as a parent is to help them along the way. So even if my child had superpowers and could obliterate me in a second, I would still treat them like an average child, because in the end, she/he is still a child. Happy mylotting!

This thread reminds me of my aunty whose step-son threw her out of the house with her husband who is the father of the step-son. It's strange that when a child grows up and becomes stronger than his parents, he can sometimes become irresponsible and disrespectful. My aunt and uncle now live in another country away from their ungrateful son and have severed all ties with him. Don't know what he'll do if he has the super power you mentioned in your thread. He'd probably just banish all the people who have been against him and become the villain in all the super power movies that we see and has to fight Superman.

For me it is not easy specially if they are not good but if they want ore good they find there self in Armageddon.

its very hard to descipline a kid even if it has no extra powers. kids are generally very hard to control and manipulate. i would not even try to think what a kid might be having super powers.

Just set a good example. Teach her the "Ben Parker" motto "With great powers come great responsibility". Teach her humility, tell her there are beings even more powerful than her. For example a very pissed off Hulk could squash her like a bug, Franklin Richards could just wish her off existence. Galactus wouldn't even notice her, The Thing would just laugh at her. Hercules will just oggle her. and Professor X could just mind wipe her. So she better know her place. And if she is really a pain in the a$$. Well, I have a secret, she got her powers from me. I am his father. I am far more powerful than her. her strength level is only roughly class 80. I am well beyond class 100. I have far more control of my powers. I can fly, I can survive in space, I heal fast, I have destroyed planets and asteroids larger than earth. In other words, i could just spank her in her behind to discipline her.
