Creative punishments for a 9 yr old

[hornet527]

He's 9 for petes sake! Be an adult. How can you not control a 9 year old. Your little paddle deal must not be working. I remember a few *** whoopins at that age, with " remembered" being the key word. Geez

Forget the punishment it isn't working. I was the same way but I did respond to reward/controlling my own destiny.

Tell him from now on he gets no "extras" (phone, play time with his buddies, watching movies ect.) Tell him he has to earn the extras.

Make an actual list of items like those below and mom, dad, kid all sign the document. Explain what it means to sign something. Stick vigilantly to the rules.

Do all your assignments at school, complete and on-time, for one week you get X points.
Get an A on a school paper gets you X points.
Do your chores without mom asking you get X points.
Mom/Dad also can give discretionary points - walk fast to hold a door open for an older couple at church you get a point.

Getting to watch one movie costs you X points.
Playing an hour with your buddies costs X points.
You lie you get all points taken away.
Get sent to the principal's office you get all points taken away.

Take notice and give him a little extra attention if he makes a good effort (even if he slips a little). If he sticks to the program praise him and give him a little extra treat (take him to dinner without his sibling) - show him you want him to succeed not want to punish him because he fails.

If he starts behaving give him options to earn extra points so he can do more things.

You have kids? If so I'd like to meet the perfect kids.

Y'all mean people. My 10 and 8 year olds just get a big hug and sent home to there mom and dad.

It's nice to have grandkids there always good at papa's and grannies.

School was a big deal for my parents. I can tell you, my dad making me dig a 3 foot hole, 3 foot wide, in clay was no fun. What was even worse, him telling me it wasn't exactly to measurement, having to fill it in, then start again. He told me this is what I would be doing for a living if I didn't want to do school work. I got the point.

Why does he have a phone? I would take everything he has (or everything YOU bought him) and let him wear the same clothes for a couple of weeks and feed him a peanut butter sandwich for dinner every night with a glass of water. He will learn that everything has a price and it's do what he's told or do without

My kids are already grown. But I gotta hand it to all of y'all. Some pretty "crafty" ideas on here....I like it!!

Belt didn't phase him, which I why I made the paddle, 4 inches wide and 1/3" thick. That sonuvagun stings! But it hasn't broken the beahvior.

Make it 3/4 thick and swing it harder. [emoji4]

Nice try, putting it back on me. Grow a set and be a parent, not his buddy

Oh, a belt worked well for me. Didn't do crapola for my brother. I've found that different kids respond better to different types of punishment.

Not all kids respond to whooping. My dad ruled our home with an "iron" belt, he never spared the rod on us. I got more whippings than most kids I knew. It worked for me. And I usually behaved and never got into any major trouble.

BUT my now 13 yo daughter was a different story. I whooped her numerous times as a small child, harder than my older kids and not even close to a "marshmallow" whooping either. She wouldn't even cry, and I'm talking a 3-4 yo. I once asked her why she wasn't crying and she responded, because I'm too mad.

Then I started taking privileges away and adding additional chores and her attitude changed.

You just have to find out which type of punishment works for each child and use it consistently.
