this is what happened to me today. My 3 years old nephew locked himself in a room. I broke in the room and spanked* him. he has been more obedient ever since. He just asked me for permission to turn on the tv. hah!
what I found is it is much easier to teach him, when he is scared of me. this is when I like about Machiavelli
*update*
At the dinner, I told my brother-in-law (which is his father) about I was spanking him for locking himself in the room. he was stunted when he heard I said I spanked him, then he heard the reason and he told me I did the right thing. so I don't think that was wrong, even the father said I was right.
