Personally, I think the silent treatment is the oppisite of communicating. Yeah, what your kid did was wrong, and yeah, she needs to "grow up" but she's 10. You don't act entirely responsible when you're 10. Besides, she just wrote on the bathroom wall, it's not like she was smoking pot. I think the silent treatment is incredibly ineffectual because you're bottling up potential avenues of communication between you and your kid- to me it would make more sense to have a heart to heart about what she did, and then if she does it again be more severe in her form of punishment. 2c
