I can tell you exactly how I noticed it because it was on my workstation this reproduced originally.
I have a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU and it has a crazy fan ramp. Anytime a process maxes out the CPU it will be audible to me when I'm working. Now, to put this in perspective. It doesn't happen when I'm gaming. I can play Diablo 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 without this noticable fan noise but when setup.exe loses it, the fan noise is how I notice it. It will max out one core and I'm going to assume "never" complete. The longest I waited was 78 CPU minutes before killing the process. This would happen now and then but it would not prevent Chrome from successfully updating. So, it was bizarre to begin with.
I hate that the reward here is candy because I absolutely detest sugar. And in this scenario I'm conditioning my kids to eat candy when they do good.
I try to reward good behavior more so than I punish bad behavior. Things we're definitely simpler when they were younger but now they lie and make up stuff. I never lie or make stuff up. So, where does this behavior come from? And I never punish them for telling the truth.
Completely agree. The littering is a no go for me.
But the idea that the bag is some reward and that you can lose some of it if you miss-behave and then maybe earn it back. That's reasonable.
I typically employ a progressive punishment in the form of a timeout. Go to your room for 5 minutes. If they don't respect that, it's 10 minutes up to 15 minutes. Culminating in: no iPad for you today.
Sometimes I ask them what the consequences for breaking the rules should be. And I get very reasonable suggestions.
Right but it doesn't have to go down like that. It's certainly a risk but it can also serve as a reminder that there are costly consequences associated with bad behavior. Question is, how far will they go for a piece of candy...
I don't know. Have you met my kids?
Not all kids are the same. Assuming the candy bag is big enough tossing a few isn't the worst thing to happen.
I do agree that, as I read this and thought that there's some really nice advice in there this one struck me as slightly off putting.
I can only speak from experience with my own kids and while I try to encourage them and to be respectful there are situations when they need to learn what happens when you cross the line.
I'm not sure people turn out ok if they never experience painful moments and I'm not sure protecting our children from every repercussion is the best way. I'm undecided on this very topic and I certainly try to be positive and encouraging in every situation.
