This has been on my mind for a while. With the new ways of disciplining children honestly hasn't proven very effective unlike those days, I believe we should re-adopt the methods used by our fathers.

In schools, you hear "spoilt" kids threaten to report teachers who spank them using...light cane.

So, what disciplinary measure did your parents/teachers used that instilled discipline into you and made you a better person. This thread might be of help to a new dad, who knows.

Well,i think simple threats like "you are not eating biscuit and juice in school works for kids in nursery and lower grades. They tend to be remorseful once they hear that..also,having a one on one talk using moral topics (maybe obedience and it's reward)it helps cos it creates a mental picture in their hearts..some kids could be tough though,you can use cane subtly to correct but NEVER inflict injuries!.it is well,to train a child is not a day job..

That's great. Kudos! Especially the "withdrawing certain privileges" from them when they 'commit'.

Being a mum is more than being a wife nor being a woman.

oh kay, I get. You must be a teacher of children of some sort...that's really cool

You haven't met the pupils in my school. Deny them their lunch and their parents will make a case against you. Let them be and they would make a market scene in your class right under your nose... Na God dey help us
