Question on parenting styles

I agree with the comment above. I feel like depriving a kid of their basic needs isn’t a way to punish them, they should trust that if they’re hungry, they can come to you. Not have that be taken away. I’d definitely be stern. Probably send my kid to their room while I cook up hot dogs or a quick Mac n cheese and they’re welcome to come and sit down for dinner when they calm and understand it’s not okay.
I also agree with the both comments above.
4 minute time out + a talk about why he’s in time out. Then make him something else. Withholding basic needs isn’t okay
Absolutely not. You have him help you clean it up and then a discussion about why it was not ok to do that.
I agree with all the comments, my boyfriend is the one that suggested that and I said no, but I would also like to ask you guys suggestions on other disciplines that you know of because we’ve tried everything and none of it works for my 4 year old, I’m in the process rn to get him in therapy but until then we don’t know what to do.
I would put him to bed hungry. I wouldn’t do it right away and I might give a snack but if my son doesn’t want to eat his dinner then in the next hour ish if it’s bedtime I’ll see if he eats more food if he asks and we did give a little bit of goldfish but that’s it I’m not gonna make a whole meal unless he barely ate anything during the day then I’ll do a sandwich. But sometimes he so bad from the day and doesn’t want to sleep so we end up putting him in bed mad but they are different Situations but they still happen
Personally I don’t believe in sending a kid to bed hungry as a punishment so I’d make him something else but also be stern and explain why what he did was not okay and talk about better ways to express when you’re not happy with something.
