It seems that, it is not really a punishment to me, but I prefer your way @broncofan99. As for my case who has a child living with autism, sometimes it is hard to control over her tantrums especially when she wants to obtain something. So when she starts showing her tantrum, I will remind her to speak politely because whining will never work on me. However, I agree with the benefits which obedience could bring to the child @cindycam. Good post for sharing. Followed you. ;)
