14. btw
Just to clarify from THAT thread, CLEARLY a parent who doesn't believe in spanking should NOT do it. You know what works for you and him better than anyone. I didn't mean to come across as pro-spanking (I find it extremely last resort, and hopefully NEVER necessary), just that one never knows what the long-term results will be. Maybe I was lucky, but my sister is also a non-violent type, although I have no idea if she spanks her kid or not - I think he is better-behaved than I was. Some kids behave better than others, and spanking can make them WORSE at times, whereas not spanking some kids also makes them worse (empty threats of 'time-outs' and threatening of withholding rewards but giving in anyway is probably the real cuplrit there). Raising kids is more trial-and-error than art.

The best skill you can teach your son is to clean the cat poop daily. I mean it! x( :-)
