Not that they've ever had it particularly easy, but parents have to compete with so much these days just to get their kid's attention, let alone to get them to behave. I don't envy their task of turning a feral bobcat into a responsible adult - especially not with Facebook and XBox Live trying to do it for them. The one resource they need more than ever to get their wards back on track? Creativity.
Punishment isn't always about correcting behavior though. Sometimes parents have to remind their kids who's in charge. And again, one of the most effective tools is creativity. Here are some great examples of parents who used their brains to great effect.
#1 And now you know not to cross the meanest mother in Wyoming.
#2 Either it'll work, or you just put two wolverines in a sack.
#3 That kid must have done something awful.
#4 So, there are two things Tom never did again.
#5 If you're going to threaten punishment, do it in style.
#6 I don't know what's more amazing: the punishment, or what One Direction tickets go for in Australia.
#7 It's like a math test and punishment at the same time!
#8 You'd have to think that parents rapping would be enough of a threat on its own.
#9 Certainly more memorable than grounding.
#10 Online gaming needs a lot more mothers like her.
#11 Have to imagine many parents took this idea and ran with it.
#12 Never too early to learn that lesson.
#13 Must have been quite the mess to deter the Tooth Fairy.
#14 A good start - maybe getting them to vacuum would be a good next step.
#15 "It is a good idea to hide the bell."
