The other day Paige was in a mood and she kept hitting. Our discipline method is to give her a warning and then put her in timeout if she continues to hit. She went into timeout twice on Saturday morning for hitting. And she was getting so upset. I would ask her to apologize, but all she would do was just cry. Later, she had finally calmed down and was eating lunch and I asked her to say she's sorry for hitting me earlier and she looked me in the eye and said "no". She knows how to apologize, she's just stubborn! So I told her that she wouldn't get any more tv until she apologized. Immediately, she turned to me and said "I sorry momma". Then we had a great conversation with her about hitting. We all discussed how we don't hit her or each other and she shouldn't hit anyone either. Well, after that point the hitting stopped and she resumed to being an angel.
I had no idea that revoking tv privileges would work so well! It was so hard not to laugh at how easy that was. Especially after struggling for what seemed like hours just to get an apology out of her.
