[QUOTE="SSchmidt, post: 70167, member: 1324"] My wife doesn't like it, but I compare kids to cows... When we let the cows out in the spring, they'd follow the electric fence all the way around the field, they touch it once or twice (and jump!), and then they go about graseing in the field. A week or so later, they will go and check the fences again, and maybe even touch one again... with the same result. The cows like to know where the boundry is, and what happens when it is challenged. When they find the boundry is the same, and the result is the same for exceeding it, they will go about the rest of the summer with out any problems. (and they are "happy cows") If the fence gets broken, or removed, when the cows find this out, they go out of control, running - kicking in the air, and destroying anything in their path. Kids are the same, they need boundries, and consistant discipline when they violate them. Then they can be happy kids. Kids with no boundries will actually go until they find boundries...usually our fine officers in blue! But by then it's too late for them to have a "happy" life! [/QUOTE]
