My youngest two children got in big trouble yesterday on the way home from the store. They would not stop fighting with each other and our son was complaining about everything! My husband and I got tired of hearing it all so he told them they are punished the rest of the week. 
What is the punishment for these two? No snacks for the week, no going to the store with daddy (which they LOVE doing), no tablet playing or playing on the phone and extra school work. 
Needless to say-my youngest two are not happy campers today at all. Maybe, just maybe they will think twice next time before they act out...

Boy! I'm glad I am not those two kids. I would go long without my snacks and playing my games on my breaks. I bet they will be glad when the week is over.

Though I don't like punishment, sometimes I just need to do that as well. I usually tell my children the consequence of doing something, so if they still continue to do it, then I just have to take away some of their privilege. There's no other way I can think of as well.

@LovingMyBabies I guess most parents always try to be patient at the beginning, but sometimes kids just do not listen to the "calm and gentle" voice.

@kaka135 We tried to do it the easier way at first. We warned them 3 times-after that we were done.

It's not that bad of punishment at least from a parents point of view. They must learn there are consequences for their actions. My sons lost video games a few times for their behavior you have to take away what will make them think.

@fishtiger58 Yeah I don't think its that bad either, but its enough to make them think a little more next time. I hope anyway. Lol.

It is a shame that they acted out, and you had to punish them. You did the right thing as by punishing them, it helps them to undrestand that what they did was wrong, and that there are consequences to everything that you do. Takiing away electroncs from any child, really gets them to thinking about what they did. Most kids can't go one day without their electronics.

@LovingMyBabies They will thank you for it later though, and come to the realization that you did the right thing, even though it seems wrong to them now.

@rosekiss Yeah, they are not liking us right now but they had to learn this lesson. We are getting tired of the fighting and not listening to mommy and daddy.

@LovingMyBabies great ages for your kids and nice you're adding another boy to the mix. I had 3 girls and my son is the youngest. The oldest two would fight and the youngest two would fight. There was no getting away from it. Now they're all adults and get along fine. Of course I have mothers revenge cause now they are all listening to their kids fighting

Bchildren need consequences when they misbehave. Vague threats are useless. Glad to hear you follow through.
