Spanking at all is not ok. Premeditated violence is probably worse than violence due to passion of the moment. (It’s all bad, but that is more disturbing.) Anything causing disconnect in the relationship is damaging. All violence falls under that category.

In reply to Mildred Claudio.

Mildred,

I can help you with your son, either through my class or private coaching. I would not take his field trip away as consequences, but I would try to pick my battles wisely and with a minimum of power struggles. If you take my class, you will get many ideas and new things to try. I also provide private coaching for $125/hour. I can help you figure out the best strategy to make sure he graduates (if that is your highest priority goal).

Please let me know how I can best serve you, and feel free to call me if you have any more questions about the services I provide.

Thank you for contacting me,
Deb

Will this be a good fit for me, my son is 17 yrs. old and he’s in senior year will hopefully graduate this coming June, but I been having issues with him following through with his homework, and he’s failing 2 classes Math and Social Studies, I have tried everything from reminding him of his homework, taking away TV in his room and also basketball practice, he stays up until very late on the phone with his girlfriend, and then complaints he’s tired, when I confront him he denies staying up late. Today I was talking to his social study teacher, because he did not turn in a homework that is worth 40 points, and he missed 2 others totaling 65 points. What can I do? He has a trip from this classroom and I told him he was not going, because of missing homework.

Great article! I particularly agree with not letting children be disrespectful and not following through with limits. Parenting classes online are definitely a good strategy for preventing these types of problems, like suggested in your article.
