Members Bakershalfdozen Posted April 16, 2005 Members Share Posted April 16, 2005 If your child accidentally made a bodily noise in public, would you: A: Get embarrassed and tell them they were going to "get it". B: Tell them to say, "Excuse me". C: Look at them horrified and say, "Child's name!" D: Laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anon Posted April 17, 2005 Members Share Posted April 17, 2005 B or C, preferably B with a good presence of mind. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 88keys Posted April 17, 2005 Members Share Posted April 17, 2005 Depending on what kind of mood I was in that day, I would probably do a combination of B, C and D. :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pneu-engine Posted April 17, 2005 Members Share Posted April 17, 2005 When my kids were still young and when one of them did this, I spoke quietly to him, and said, "We'll talk about this when we get home". At home when discussing it, we carefully outlined what to do/say and how to do it if something like that should happen again. We're all human creatures and stuff happens. :) In industry we have the principle, [b]"Praise in public, criticize in private"[/b]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danjanchelsie Posted April 17, 2005 Members Share Posted April 17, 2005 B, it does occur and to me if you scolded them or called them by name it would probably(in most instances) embrass them even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bakershalfdozen Posted April 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2005 I was just wondering what you all thought because I know a lady who punishes her kids if they do this in public. I also know a couple who used to spank (read::"beat") their son for having to use the bathroom at mealtime. He would very politely ask if he could be excused to go to the bathroom just about every meal and they would very politely allow him to do so. Then afterwards they would beat him for being so rude. :? :? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted April 17, 2005 Members Share Posted April 17, 2005 That is terribly sad, Bakers-6. :( :cry: They don't realize it but they are molding that child to do even worse [b]when he is an adult[/b]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DQ Posted April 18, 2005 Members Share Posted April 18, 2005 I would only punish the kid later if he does it for attention or does it on purpose. All of us know husbands and kids who can "toot" jingle bells on command and think it is a form of entertainment. :roll: I can't imagine someone punishing a kid for normal bodily functions they can't help.I had a horrible gas problem as a kid and I was so embarrassed. I found out in my adult life that I had a food allergy. So, folks, get your kid tested if it seems like a big problem. May just need a change of diet or simply eating slower.
