Luke's corner

Luke is in trouble all the time lately....he can't control his temper, and he's very impulsive...likes to throw things when he's angry, or pull hair or hit - he's very aggressive. Putting him in the corner has become standard procedure. In fact, it's so standard, I don't know if it's an effective punishment anymore?! The other day he was with me in the kitchen, and he got angry about something....he grabbed a magnet off of the refrigerator and pulled back his arm, ready to throw it. I scolded him and said "LUKE, YOU BETTER NOT THROW THAT....DO YOU WANT TO GO SIT IN THE CORNER?" He immediately stuck his lip out in a pout, dropped the magnet, turned and marched over to the corner and sat down!!




It's ironic...he's so obedient when it comes to taking his punishment - he goes to the corner when he's told, he sits there, and he doesn't try to get up until I tell him he can! Now, why can't he just be that obedient to begin with?! I guess he has decided that acting on his impulse is worth the punishment he knows he's going to receive.






"Don't look at me!"

STINKER!!!
