He knows that you love him and that he did something wrong, which is why you needed to punish him. <br />As for the parenting karma, I have called several times to apologize to my mother for things I did as a child that my children now do. SO I understand that perfectly. as I have suffered the parental karma trap a few times.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05800393330387959551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390138134727297150.post-37968947771864147482010-10-05T03:42:43.349-07:002010-10-05T03:42:43.349-07:00We have to punish and instruct our children.

The point is not to make them jump through hoops and simply learn correct behavior, but to reach their hearts and teach them to want to make good choices. It sounds like that's what you are doing with this punishment and talk. I think you did a great job even though it doesn't feel very good sometimes.Crafty Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735166890342626195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390138134727297150.post-4954202623139275362010-10-04T09:49:30.674-07:002010-10-04T09:49:30.674-07:00Thanks unplanned.

Im sure there will be more scares for me as a parent as he grows. Part of the job.

Not that it stops me from worrying about it :).

Use this as a teachable moment rather than just a grounding. I'm sure his little brain just didn't have a clue about the dangers he might face. I don't think you overreacted at all. Just make sure that the grounding time is time well spent not just time served. You're a good mama!Audra Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422128279098861223noreply@blogger.com
