@darktiste: How do you feel about punishment as discipline?
Silence could be the weapon to fight rebellious children, I suppose. (My mom does that to me, only once though) I feel when children are being manipulative, they do not like it if they are ignored. How else would they get what they want if the other party is not responding?
Though it is helpful at some point, the child may get desperate and that's where danger comes. So I agree that an adult can control the situation only if he finds an 'attack' to counter the argument.
(A book I would LOVE to read is, 'Thank You for Arguing by Jay Heinrichs) I would read it if I have time. He explains well the method that is helpful to put others in your favor, as what the reviews say. Kind of an evil book, huh :D )
