re: What would be a proper punishment?

Quoting .Solange.:" dude, I was about 6-7 when I ran away for the first time. My dad found me at the park, which was a street ... [snip!] ... i never did that smurf again, that punishment was enough to break my little 6 year old heart and i behaved. You should try it"

I'm definitely going to! I'm so glad I posted this thread...  

Quoting Mrs. Potato Dick:" Dude, why didn't I think of that? If he went to bed an hour early, he would not be happy. That would definitely teach him. I think that would open his eyes even more than extra work."

to me that was the worst thing heck i was in middle school my bed time was 9 so when my moms husband made me go to bed early it was horrible lol i hated that i would have rather gotten spanked

Make him write so many sentences of "i will not lie again" or something along those lines, make him do extra chores, extra homework and do if for how ever long he lied for. Oh and maybe earlier bedtime, my parents used to do all that to me when i did smurf and i HATED it, plus take my tv away and i loved my damn tv.

Definitely gonna do all of these things. He hates going to bed and hates not being able to watch his Tranformers.

I used to be glued to the tv and phone, i didn't care if my parents took everything else away as long as i had those 2 things, if they took those away my mom said i acted like it was the end of the world.

I don't know if it's the right thing to do or not, but If I would have done that, I would have been forced to write a letter to the teacher for apologizing and a letter to my mom and dad apologizing too. Then I would have been restricted for a day.
