I find myself doing the same thing to Ethan. I make sure he understand why we are upset and why we are punishing him. He gets it. The next time we have to get after him, we'll likely let him choose his own punishment.
Chose his own punishment, of what choices?
No ice cream after dinner or No TV time before bed?
Those are mighty close, lol. No cookies after dinner or no Minecraft until the next day.
Then once he wisens up a little bit, we will have to adjust things accordingly, lol.

I'm all for properly punishing your children, but allowing them to pick the punishment is a lot like a murderer being caught and then choosing a 25 year stay in the Bahamas as punishment...
Because the Judge didn't want to be mean, and felt that the murderer could chose something fitting.
You make the punishments "equally" deterring.
Give him 25 years hard labor in the desert prisons, or 25 years at Club Fed stuck wearing Hello Kitty prison wear. -

I've met her close to a dozen times.. other than the very first time (she was totally wasted/hangover) at SDCC 2006, she was totally cool. She really likes what the 501st did for charities, etc.

Ok this post along freaks me out - what did the dieing person yell Alexa! while being attacked so the thing would wake and record?
-
OK so no real info in that post yet... it will be interesting to find out what information is obtainable for amazon?
I heard that Samsung TV's were constantly streaming the audio it hears to some third party.. that's why that POS is NOT connected to the internet. It was long enough to get the latest updates as of my install date, and unplugged after that!

Wireshark it when idle then block 3rd party.

Alexa! I have been shot, send help
