no you dont want to teach her violence
July 29th, 2007 - 4:32 pm
hell yea, you need to show them who is boss or they will walk all over you when they are older

No, of course not. But it’s not good keeping anger inside, so find a different way to let it out. Like, scream in your pillow.

No, it’s not ok. It will teach her its ok to destroy something that someone else loves if you are disappointed/upset with them. Instead, take her toys away and don’t let her play with them.

Who’s the adult here, and what are you trying to teach your child? There are other ways to punish her, without breaking things
August 9th, 2007 - 12:54 am
breaking her toys will only teach her bad habits… i suggest taking away her toys or privileges…

Will it be ok in 20 years when the kid gets mad at you for something and he decides to mash your brand new plasma TV?
August 14th, 2007 - 1:46 am
no its not. i bet if you brought this up in front of a judge he would bring up your ability to control your anger. might even have your child taken away until you attend classes. oneday a toy might be out of reach but the childs arm is just as easily broken. you need to talk to someone about getting help. i know its like, “well id never hurt my child!” well youd be suprised how many abusers start off saying that.

Listen it’s your kind ,your choice. But a act of violence is not going to help you, and you are going to learn your kid violenc as well. And don’t break your kid’s toys, not at that young stage is going to harm her/him sociologically

If she breaks something of yours on purpose… she should be told that if you break something you have to pay for it making sure she understands. No shouting.Then ask her to pay for what she broke with a toy. But if she is just bad, standing in a corner, or no desert is better.
August 19th, 2007 - 8:06 pm
of course it is okay to teach her when you get angry you break things. What harm will that do. Simply putting a toy away for 3 days as a punishment won’t teach her anything
You seriously need to do a parenting course on how to deal with your child when she misbehaves
August 22nd, 2007 - 11:16 am
Errr……….no. How are you ever going to teach your daughter that it’s OK to feel angry/sad etc. but it’s what you do about it that is important? How would you feel if she broke a precious possession of yours in a fit of temper? My guess is that you’d ***** her and send her to her room!
You should try never to lose your temper in front of your child; it’s perfectly possible to discipline children and give them boundaries without losing your temper and behaving like a toddler yourself. If you have that much anger you sound as if you need some sort of counselling.
Other that that, you may be just trolling hoping for a reaction….

if you’re ignorant, i guess so.
August 27th, 2007 - 3:03 pm
No thats just mean!!
August 27th, 2007 - 3:33 pm
No! that will not solve the problem. take her toys away and put them in time out. but by breaking her toys it shows her that when she is angry its ok to take her frustrations out on things or people.
August 30th, 2007 - 5:07 am
You need therapy.
You should NEVER let your child see you angry or violent, and you should NEVER destroy ANYTHING on purpose.
By breaking one of her toys, it’s like saying that you want to hurt HER, and she KNOWS that!!
It’s abuse, plain and simple.
September 2nd, 2007 - 7:32 am
Sorry don’t know what 2 tel u
September 5th, 2007 - 7:19 pm
Sure if you want her to start going around breaking things when she thinks you have done something bad. What exactly do you think you are teaching her by breaking a toy? If you want to use toys as a punishment just take away her favourite toy for a little while.
September 5th, 2007 - 10:14 pm
DEFINITLY NOT! This will teach your daughter to FEAR you! That’s not good! You should simply send her to her room or talk to her. At 4 years old, she doesn’t know better, but she’s ready to learn what’s right and wrong. It’s your responsibility to teach her that.
September 8th, 2007 - 8:41 am
GROW UP WHO’S THE CHILD HERE!
September 9th, 2007 - 3:02 pm
No, sorry, that is not an excuse.
September 12th, 2007 - 7:26 pm
NO! It is however ok to take it away and shelf it for a while. Make them earn it back by making them understand bad behavior is never tolerated. Breaking toys sends the wrong message. It says violence is ok…and it’s not. Never!
September 13th, 2007 - 8:15 am
yes so u can teach the kid a lesson to not misbehave again or else one of her toys is broken
September 13th, 2007 - 3:42 pm
Ummm… No. You’re a real prize, aren’t you?
September 15th, 2007 - 5:11 pm
~I WOULD HAFTA SAY PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA
~BREAK SUMTHING OF UR OWN SO AFTERWARDS U WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO REGRET IT FOR A WHILE
September 17th, 2007 - 8:10 am
Are YOU 4 years old as well?
September 20th, 2007 - 10:50 am
ummmm no probably not
September 22nd, 2007 - 1:39 pm
ok people like this should not have children enough said
September 24th, 2007 - 12:43 am
NO! You spent maybe some good money on those toys! Just dont teach her violence.Your a nitwit if you think like that.
