Fantastic logic TB!

Why, thankyou, I thought so to

How many children do you have again???

I am a big one, does that count

Do you have any classic advice on how to explain to an autistic 5 year old about the dangers of water then?

Joking aside, I knew you would be the first to bite and pipe up.  With that in mind, I had H in the back on my mind, knowing there are no all encompassing answers for everyone. One of my colleagues has a severely autistic son, so I am pretty familiar with the condition, and that their talents lie somewhere other than being fully aware of what is around them.  From the few times I have met H, he certainly seems to have the condition in a mild form, which if that is true, is great .  Anyway, part of my comment still applies - the reasoning with young kids that never appears to work.

You know damn well the sort of kids my comments were aimed at as well

Guess some are childless for a reason! Suspect i won't be the only one to resent that type of comment from someone who has no kids!

Ah, but it does allow me to have a different insight one things, without the emotional attachments




Rightly or wrongly, I disagree with many modern parenting techniques. Bad behaviour, imho, should be punished (not necessarily physically). And a naughty step is not a punishment. If my parents had sent me to any naughty step/corner/whatever, I would have classed that as a victory, and gone on to the next stage to see how far I could push them.  Instead, I got smacked, had my bike taken away, or wasn't allowed out to play (or all 3 if I'd been a particularly bad boy ). As a result, I think my parents did a fantastic job with my 3 brothers, my sister, and I.


We may not agree, but we are each entitled to our own views, and hopefully, just hopefully, may be able to understand the other person's point of view
