Yeah, it was always tabasco sauce for me. Worked for about a year before I came to like the taste
Shakran, while I see your point, children definitely need punishment occasionally. You cant just assume that the child will know right and wrong, and always act accordingly. Thats why its called parenting--you have to teach it to them. Talking doesnt always work, try it with a mouthy kid. Obviously, relying solely on punishment is a very bad idea, but it is absolutely a necessary evil sometimes.
