I have raised every single one of my younger siblings for as long as they lived with me. I love to take care of others and find it easy. I can change diapers, help potty train, help teach, cook, clean, and lightly discipline. I would never put my hands on a child so my form of punishment is to put in "time out." If your child is 12 years old and they disobey me i will put them in time out for 12 minutes. If your children are 8 and 10 they will both get timeout for 10 minutes. I always try to be fair, polite, and loving.
