We’ve lived apart from immediate family for years – most of which are dispersed hours if not a plane flight away. We love our families, dysfunction and function, but wish they were close since we have a family now. I miss the extended family I had as a child.

I really like these fatherhood round tables, it helps put things into perspective for me.

I am always fulfilled when my children successfully attempt things that they had been afraid to try before.

Thanks again for your feedback. I also like to argue with my in-laws just for the fun of it.

Punishment has to fit the crime and temperament of the child. My son, N, who is tenderhearted constantly seeks my approval. All I have to do is raise my voice with him or express any disappointment and he immediately corrects his behavior. My daughter, on the other hand, takes much more creativity. We apply many types of punishments with her (up to an including spanking). We’re still figuring out how to effectively discipline the 2-year-old. Right now, he has to sit in the “naughty chair” for several minutes. He is a sociable child and hates to miss anything. Time in the “naughty chair” is unbearable to him.

Wow! A year of house arrest? You must have done something serious.

Just the other day, I had to tell my daughter that I couldn’t deal with her behavior at the moment because she had made me too angry. I told her to sit in her room while I cooled off. After I was in a better state of mind, I was able to deal with the situation rationally.
