I think 6/7 is to young to grasp such a big consequence as well. I stick with taking things she likes and a minute per year of age in the corner. If she was older I may think the punishment fit, but to me she is just to young to understand. He asked in the middle of the fit if she wanted to go to chuck e cheese still, and she said no. But she is very dramatic, and was just being difficult, and obviously did not mean it. I think it made him madder that he had just taken her out for milkshakes, and tried to be nice to her and then she acted so rude just because I would not give her a present early. But she has really improved since she moved in. I think a fit every now and then is to be expected from kids. She used to throw fits 3 times a day sometimes now we go weeks without them so everyone around me saying my punishments are to easy does not seem right. They have been effective, and I think in this situation we should have stuck with a consequence she knows and understands.
