I personally have always thought a small tap on the bottom is enough to stop a childs bad behaviour. After having bought up 3 children I truly do still believe that this option is ok. I don't condone any more than ONE small smack though. Anything more is just cruel. When a child is behaving badly and simply will not stop even though you have tried everything else sometimes a smack is all it takes to stop the childs behaviour and prove to them that in actual fact you mean what you say. I would say that between the years of 3 and 8 this sort of reprimand is ok. After this however i think a child is too old for it to do any good and they can understand slightly better other forms of reprimanding
Although the media say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I find I lose weight more easily if I don't have any, then have two small meals later. Do you think I would be more successful if I ate breakfast?
I always look for books in charity shops as I don't like to spend a lot of money on them. My local charity shop is also great for kids clothes...I often find items that have never been worn with tags still on. Great for bargains!
