One of the funniest for me was when I had both my Daughters' and two of their friends all in the middle of Wal-Mart and all four were fighting LOUDLY. So I did the "chicken dance" right then and there and the girls dispersed in four different directions and stopped fighting out of sheer embarrassment.

My teenage Daughter thought she would start slamming doors when she got upset. So I removed her door from the hinges and put it in the garage for five days. She never knew how fond she was of a door and developed a new found love for having one!

And then the light she like to leave on in her room. So the light bulbs took a vacation in the trunk of my car. She loved that! But remember to turn it off when she did get it back!!

No, midway between anger and festive - I think it's called "when you have calmed down".

I do not advocate hitting children at all - grounding, time out or withdrawal of Playstation, Nintendo, TV etc privileges works so much better.....

Got to love the reaction that follows.

Experts say you should never hit your children in anger.
When is a good time? When you're feeling festive?
