^^^ LOL Sunny.

Anyway I do feel the whole firmly saying 'no' and especially the naughty chair option is far better. My brother had that in nursery in fact, but instead it was a thinking mat (haha) that the kids were put on to 'think' about what they had done. Perhaps that route should have been adopted for me, because by contrast as a child I never experienced the naughty chair or anything of the sort. Partly because I wouldn't listen! Actually, come to think of it, a main problem for me was that I was spoilt a hell of a lot when I was little and obviously couldn't object to it or approve it, and then when it got to the stage that I started becoming a nightmare and kept expecting stuff and shouting and wouldn't listen, it got to the stage where I had to be slapped! That's why this time round with my brother the spoiling has toned down considerably, and I think that's a good thing.
