My daughter is 15, and we're still using this technique only now she loses her cellphone and iPod. Take away a teen's communication tools and electronics and you have 'em by the ying yang.

It sounds like "nipping it in the bud" was what got her into trouble in the first place ;)

Biting. It's a tough one. He never did it again. I'm not sure what I would do if I were in this situation. I know that my sister bit her when he bit her hard when he was little (around 3?).

Parenting. Don't you love it. We've even been down the road of taking ALL toys away, which was more punishment for me than the kids. They earned them back.Edward is a biter, even kicker. At 2 he kicked a 4 yr old in the head while wearing his cowboy boots. That was a fun one to explain. He's never kicked since. Thankfully.How was the wedding?Emily

all of the parenting books I've read (ok so the one parenting book I read) said that calm and unemotional really disappoints the kid because they want the fireworks. learning to control the fireworks has, for me, been the hardest part of parenting to date.

Good for you. Stick to your guns. I took away my boys' Zorro masks and capes and I'm not sure who has hated it more. Me or them. But they WILL NOT be allowed to torture the baby-sitter. Or play in the toilet. I have my limits.
