Heart of the City by Steenz for July 08, 2010

I’ll take that as a “no.”

Learned something. Not everything. It’ll be a different trouble very likely.

And that is why timeouts do not work.

The unspoken words on every child’s lips.

Doubt it! Even an untold number of spankings didn’t teach me not to get sent to the principal’s office for talking out of turn in class! :)

The discipline has to fit the child - age, temperament & offense. Spanking works for the young child who doesn’t grasp the connection between the offense and a delayed punishment. For older children, other means do seem to be more effective.

Brace yourself, Heart. Dean’s probably playing with Kat…

An adult can deal with a child without resorting to corporal Punishment. It teaches nothing that is positive. Only a weak, disfunctional person would want to hurt a child for misbehaving.

Yes. Don’t get caught.

Fun fact: in panel 2, Addy has five fingers, but Heart only has four fingers in panel 3
