A reader sent me this and I just had to share. It’s an old-school discipline method that those of us in our 30s probably remember from elementary school. The good old handwriting punishment!

This little girl complained about “not getting anything for Easter” when she did, in fact, receive a small basket of items in addition to a nice morning at church and time with family and friends.

Hence, the punishment – to write “I will be thankful for what I have” THIRTY TIMES! I love it. 🙂

discipline for 7 year oldsIn our current age of entitlement, bigger, better, faster…our kids need to be reminded of what really matters. And if you can make them realize this in a way that builds their handwriting skills, that’s awesome!

It’s just a bonus if they can’t stand practicing handwriting. mwuhahahaha

What do you think? Is this something you do with your own kids? Why or why not?
