I believe that physical punishment stunts self esteem in kids. But believing is one thing and doing is another.I think Tania has a lot of studying to catch upon and she doesnot think so. I had to give her some whacks to make her come to sense.But after action comes penitance. I made up kid sized wallet for her late into night.



Then decided the colour and cloth is not kiddy enough. So made up another one. She will have the purse with some money in it for the next trip to the mall, if she finishes her lessons ( a very small price for a lot of studying)





I got the idea for the wallet from Jessics at http://balancingeverything.com/
