POPSWhat is appropriate discipline? When required children do need appropriate discipline. But, where does discipline end and cruelty begin. I do yell at my grandchildren when I'm really pushed, (still very wrong) I do give the occasional smack. (still wrong). Here is my question and I would really like feed back on this; is it ever acceptable to put a four year old in a small dark closet for any amount of time as punishment and how about when a little seven year old girl throws a ball into a wading pool and splashes you with water, is it acceptable to throw a cup of coffee at her, ( It had lots of milk so it wasn't hot). I have never done the last two and would never think of doing either but someone who should know better has. What should I do?
