What is the proper punishment?

Question

My daughter has been acting up alot lately. Today I walked into the kitchen to see her punching my nephew in the chest! All because he was standing too close to her. What do you think would be a proper punishment? And please no smart remarks..only serious people.

Answer 1

A good spanking of 4-6 hard swats with your hand on her butt followed  by a lecture seems a good fit for your situation.

Answer 2

teach the little boy to hit her back, and hard enough, she will remember it, most of the time that will brack a bully from the habit.

Answer 3

why dont you tell her thats not what you do to family

Answer 4

............and the age of the child is...........

EDIT** punching in the chest can be dangerous. I would take away some privileges for a few days. No TV, no video games, maybe to bed earlier.

Make sure she knows why she has lost these privileges and that if she does it again she will lose them for longer. Above all else, be consistent. If you say no TV for 2 days, make sure she gets no TV for 2 days. If you give in, she will know she can get away without punishment for her behavior and she will do it again. Good luck.

Answer 5

When people she lieks to play with come over send her to her room becuase she hit, put her in timeout, idk lol

Answer 6

tell her to apoligize, make her stay in a time out, no tv for a week, as well as no dessert, and if she does it again, you won't do something she loves to do. violence has serious consequences.

Answer 7

You should try to let them play together  and if they start to fight seperate them or give him or her a timeout.

Answer 8

seriously, take away a privelege..

Answer 9

Seven is a pretty "old" age to be violent just for no reason.  Do you have any summer vacations planned?  Tell her for that action, the reaction will be that that vacation is cancelled now.

Answer 10

Tell her thats bad and ask her why she's been acting up like this. One day Pix my five year old son was acting up and bullying Samantha my three year old daughter it was when he was four and Samantha was two and I asked him why and it was because he couldn't work a puzzle because Samantha kept stealing the peices, we came up with a solution, Pix stays in his room and Samantha stays in her's unless they invite each other into each other's rooms and the punishment if one goes into the others room uninvited is that the one who got into the other's room has to sleep on the couch and the other one gets to play in that ones room, but no brakeing other's toys or messing each other's rooms up.

Answer 11
