Best way to 'handle' what would appear to be a belligerent 11 year old girl?

@TheProphet How about one to yours, you misguided fool.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON I got my share and learned. Spankings work.

@TheProphet I am sure you have a big tongue in a big cheek, my friend. If you haven't, I hope there are others around you who will help keep you and your misguided ways from the world and (especially) the youngsters you meet.

@TheProphet
Indeed.
They work.

@Valentine Spankings have always worked. The fact that parents no longer spank is the reason kids are the reason kids are turning out badly now.

@TheProphet You obviously believe what you are saying, and I can only hope that you can listen to other points of view. I have posted another Q about this and your comment - I will post it here again. I hope you reconsider your view, sir. This is a true account:

To the 30+ year old man who bawled at his 10 year old son for 2+ minutes out loud on the beach and then slapped him round the head, hard. His only 'crime' was to inadvertently trip over his baby sister.

"Sir, you will probably never ever get to see this message, but my blood boiled and my heart sank to see what you did to your very own blessed son today. You will never read this, but another father tempted to do the same, just might, so I will try to explain to you, the error of your ways.

You see, sir, there is only one thing left after 'beatings' - and that - is 'double-beatings' - and neither of them have any merits or bear any fruit. They just evaporate any self-belief and confidence in a growing spirit that you, sir, are breaking, bit by bit by bit with every word you shout and every hand you raise.

And unfortunately, in your case, you will no doubt be surprised to see, in not so many fast speeding years, that same son, beat his own son, your cherished grandson.

And you will hang your head in sorrow and shame. For it will be too late.

Your sorry circle will be complete."

@Valentine There is a difference between spanking and beating or humiliating your child. I punished my children and they turned out well just as me and my siblings did. We didn't abuse or humiliate our children, but we did spank and punish them when needed.

@TheProphet Yes, it may have seemed a useful resource at the time, and even now you defend having it in your tool box. I will admit, I was tempted to do the same at one time in I my early life, but, I rejected it, and I found a better way. I assure you it worked (I think)(and so do my lovely kids).
