Yes, it worked. When my kids were older they told me that hearing that I was disappointed was worse than hearing I was angered.

I'd never say such a negative thing to a child. What I would say is what I expected or what we could do instead. Being negative does not lead to positive outcomes. Might be better than a punishment I suppose, but not by much.

I think it's okay to experience all emotions, including knowing you've let others down. Life isn't about being a Stepford individual.

It's about learning from your own behaviors and being accountable. We have kids that can't hear what others have to say without losing their shit.

@X lulz at you brah. _Underscore IS a self righteous idiot! No mystery her offspring would come out any different. We're talking about a lady who does the exact opposite of what she preaches. If you believe any different you'll learn the hard way. Be warned. Notice none of us old schoolers ever defend the bitch. You've been warned. Peace!

heh, @Lily makes a fair point that how a behaviour effects others is part of natural consequences. I've always found that children can be taught to make more appropriate choices and learn from natural consequences, no additional punishment or rebuke required.
