Talking to kids and taking their shit away only goes so far.
The other day my 8 YO son rode his bike accross the street and
he knows he can't go off the sidewalk. I called him over as I was in front
of the garage and gave him a stern talking to. This is about the third time
he's done this so the talking is over !
The very next day he rode the bike accross the street again without looking and I called him over and beat his ass with one of those rods you use to hold up plants in the garden and told him the next time he does this I'm running over his bike. He knew he was in trouble because he started balling when I made him stand with his hands in the air so I could wack his ass
