Lately.... Jackson has been acting a bit "big for his britches" so to speak & no matter what discipline technique we have implemented, he doesn't really care. So after lots of consulting & contemplating- i decided to try what a friend from church does with her boys. We began putting Jackson "on the wall" for 1 minute at a time when he smart mouths us or blatantly disobeys us. I have to admit, it is hard to watch, BUT it works! He hates it & is immediately apologetic when he gets done. So once, i snuck a picture zooming in from the bedroom doorway so he wouldn't see that i was taking it! Yes, he is crying, so that is hard to see, but let me tell you- if you had heard what came out of his mouth before, you wouldn't be just so sad! Every kid needs discipline & with Jackson we have to get creative sometimes!
Randy said to me one day when he Jackson was on the wall, "Ya know, this will actually make his legs stronger!" Yeah, Yeah- Jackson will thank us one day when he is a basketball superstar, right? I'll remind him of that the next time he is telling us that it burns! Maybe he'll begin to think of that BEFORE he disobeys! Oh, I pray so!!!
