I shout bingo!

I will admit Im in a mood about naughty chairs etc, 3 against 1 argument today about smacking to potty train

I bet though if I got one my kids would love it and fight to sit on it, dd gleefully pointing and shouting 'mine!' if it was mentioned.

I have met a few recently though who've genuinely shocked me how they discipline, and I'd thought I'd heard it all in 10 yrs of teaching

Why is it all in capitals apart from the 'i'? Am I being dense?

They might go down well with the performance parents. "behave Sebastian, or mummy shall have to get out your bespoke hand painted behviour chair..."

3 against 1 argument today about smacking to potty train

Who were these people? I think smacking should be made illegal. It's such a shitty way to bring up children.

"argument today about smacking to potty train"

Wtf? What possible argument could there be re not smacking during toilet training?

A cafe in Port Isaac last summer had a teeny tiny little bench at the back with 'naughty step' inscribed on it. My two boys wanted to bring it home with us. We've never done a naughty step in their lives so it was a bit new and exciting. We left it in the cafe and forgot all about it til DS2 (5) wrote a letter to Santa in december and asked him for a 'nortee step'. My children are fools.

It's all a bit too "look at me". Just tell them off and be done with it.

dd is VERY impossible slow to train.
Advised at playgroup by a mum they smacked their child to make them wee and it worked in a few days so they could stop smacking and they'd just go when told.

I'm 'prolonging her upset' letting her get frustrated/ sometimes sore, instead of just having a few days of tears...

What's a 'mud kitchen'

Hey if it works, don't knock it haha

I've always wondered just how you get the naughty child to sit/stay on the naught chair/step. When ds was a difficult toddler if I'd told him to go to the chair he would have refused (and had a tantrum) if I had picked him up and put him there he would have run off (and had a tantrum). I could have made dd use one, but then she didn't really need to (as evidenced by the fact that she would have sat and stayed on chair chair).

My facebook had mud kitchens advertised on it recently. Looked very cool, I think my two would have spent much happy time playing with one.

Performance parents would not have something that ugly in their houses
