Re: Mixed reactions to discipline
If YOUR kids aren't embarrassed by it, I see nothing wrong with it. It sounds like it's more of a game than a punishment. I have my kids put their hands in their pockets, but sometimes that doesn't work and I need to pull out something different. Something we can giggle about and get our minds off the "problem". I would keep having them put their hands on their heads as long as it's not a problem for your kids. Your children are old enough to express to you if they are embarrassed or not. Generally, I don't have a problem with my kids touching, however, with 3 rambunctious boys and one little girl in the mix, having all 4 of them touching everything they want to, will end in disaster. Therefore, they do have to keep their hands to themselves for the most part.
