Writing lines as punishment

Does anyone besides me use repetitive line-writing as a non-corporal punishment alternative, especially for older kids?
correct canine antisocial behavior
(6 Messages)
Greetings, I am looking for web sites that will tell me how to "correct canine antisocial behavior" The dog is a 3-year-old female Jack Russell Terrier [We got her from a shelter at age 1] We live in a city suburb. 2 60-year-olds and a 40-year-old live in the household. Towards the 3 of us, she is the most loving and playful critter I could possibly ask for. She minds "sit", "stay", "come" most of the time ;-) The problem is when strangers come in the hous ...
Spanking: What Would Jesus Do?
(23 Messages)
Some Christians use the Bible to support the practice of spanking. Especially the "spare the rod" passage from Proverbs. However, this is an illegitimate use of scripture. Unless these folks are willing to use the same kind of selective prooftexting to support THE BUYING AND SELLING OF HUMAN BEINGS (Genesis 17:13), SLAVERY (Ephesians 6:5), THE BEATING OF FOOLS (Proverbs 10:13, 26:3), THE SUPPRESSION OF WOMEN (I Corinthians 14:34, Ephesians 5:22), SANCTIONS AGAINST MARRIAGE (I Corinthia ...
Spanking

I was just reading how the whackos in the spanking group feel that there is no anti social effects from spanking. CHICAGO (CNN) -- In the long run, it turns out that sparing the rod may not spoil the child after all. Indeed, according to a study released Thursday, the opposite may be true: Spanking a child may produce long-term ill effects. Based on interviews with the mothers of about 3,000 children, researcher Murray Straus of the University of New Hampshire found that corporal punishment is c ...

Treatment Model Treatment efforts, in general, have failed to address the complexity of youth needs, being individually-oriented, narrowly focused, and delivered in settings that bear little relation to the problems being addressed (e.g., residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics). Given overwhelming empirical evidence that serious antisocial behavior is determined by the interplay of individual, family, peer, school, and neighborhood factors, it is not surprising that treatments of serious antisocial behavior have been largely ineffective. Restrictive out-of-home placements, such as residential treatment, ...
Consistent with social-ecological models of behavior and findings from causal modeling studies of delinquency and drug use, MST posits that youth antisocial behavior is multidetermined and linked with characteristics of the individual youth and his or her family, peer group, school, and community contexts. As such, MST interventions aim to attenuate risk factors by building youth and family strengths (protective factors) on a highly individualized and comprehensive basis. The provision of home-based services circumvents barriers to service access that often characterize families of serious juvenile offenders. An emphasis ...
Addressing Antisocial Behavior Addressing Antisocial Behavior For the small number of children and youth who display serious and persistent anti-social behavior, interventions must be comprehensive, initiated as early as possible, sustained, and involve each student's family, peers, teachers, and a variety of service providers and service systems. The key to success for these students is the provision of comprehensive interventions - interventions that incorporate coordinated, interagency approaches that are collaborative in nature and individually tailored to each student. Alternative programs and placements, such as day-treatment centers, specialized schools, special classes, and residential ...

Delusions of Honesty W hen Tony Blair announced his resignation after ten years as prime minister of the United Kingdom, his voice choked with emotion and he nearly shed a tear. He asked his audience to believe that he had always done what he thought was right. He would have been nearer the mark had he said that he always thought that what was right was whatever he had done. Throughout his years in office, he kept inviolable his belief in the existence of a purely beneficent essence of himself, a belief so strong that no quantity of untruthfulness, shady dealings, unscrupulousness, or constitutional ...
In a confessional mood, Blair admitted that he had sometimes fallen short of what was expected of him. He did not give specifics, but we were expected to admire his candor and humility in making such an admission. It is no coincidence, however, that Blair reached maturity at the time of the publication of the famous book Psychobabble , which dissects the modern tendency to indulge in self-obsession without self-examination. Here was a mea culpa without the culpa . Bless me, people (Blair appeared to be saying), for I have sinned: but please don’t ask me to say how.

There's a very good article today in the NYT Magaz There's a very good article today in the NYT Magazine, about adolescent "sex offenders." More and more states, and the federal government, are beginning to treat juveniles who engage in inappropriate sexual behavior (at all levels of severity) like adult offenders, and this includes the requirement of public registry. Many who work in the field are very concerned that this trend is causing much more harm than good. Below are excerpts from the article: It wasn’t long ago that therapists and victim advocates had to fight to get the justice system to take ...

Congressional pork rinds If it wasn’t for caring for the poor and condemning corporations, the Dhimmicraps wouldn’t have anything to run on. Mollohan wants to replace ole Robert (KKK) Byrd that he can taste it. But I think the FBI may have something to say about that. The house just voted to inject more money into a food stamp program that already has a surplus and now wants to advertise to illegal aliens to let them know that they are elegible. Great country eh!
Congressional pork rinds Democratic Congressman Alan Mollohan of West Virginia is under criminal investigation for pushing a quarter-billion dollars worth of earmarks to the tax-exempt organizations run by his buddies. How can he divert attention back home? By handing out free suppers to poor children. That’s right, taxpayers, it is not good enough that families get food stamps, it is not good enough that kids get free lunches at school, it is not good enough that kids get free breakfasts at school, it is not good enough that kids get the free meals through the summertime ...
The Nazis were not Right-Wing Conservative Creationists: they were It is not an ideological measure, but a social psychological one that, in spite of its name, is not necessarily associated with right-wing political views. The nature of the RWA scale leads to predictions that High RWAs will tend to support the current political authority, regardless of the ideology expounded by those in power. For example, it was predicted, and confirmed that in the old Soviet Union, high RWAs were supporters of the Communist Party because it represented the established authority even though it would be described as a left wing Party.

I even had a lefty here say that Republicans must die. Sorry, you people are vicious - just like Nazi stormtroopers…which fits into what Hillary Clinton wrote in her senior thesis at Yale (one of the most glaring examples)… In 1969 she wrote her 92-page senior thesis on the theories of radical Chicago organizer Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals (1971) and Reveille for Radicals (1947). Substantial portions of Hillary Clinton’s 1969 senior thesis are about the benefits of “test(ing) whether the mechanisms of (Chicago) gang structures ...
More on churches, bad and good and bad again. Quotes Jane Espenson: "So here's what I think we need to do if we want to write a sci-fi or a fantasy show and give it appeal way beyond the normal boundaries of sci-fi/fantasy fandom.
