By week 2 he was begging me to just whip him and get it over with. My response was...You don't get to pick your punishments. My point was well made, he understood the priority and the science grade that put him on punishment...came up to a "B".

Yeah the latest punishment I used with my 2 sons, taking their favorite things away really seem to have worked for right now. My oldest step son is doing everything I ask him to do, doing great at school and doing great at home. My youngest son is doing better at school and he's showing alot of improvements at home.
