How do you make kids earn things?

This little boy is upset because he got his toy taken away for being bad. He kept asking and I said NO. He can pout all he wants but he ain't getting it until he earns it. He was being nasty to his friends. I think some people these days are being too soft on their kids and it's said that some adult are giving in to temper tantrums. I don't put up with them. Kids need tough love.
I work at a preschool. Some teacher thought I was being too tough but I don't care. I'm doing my job. I don't care about being liked or disliked.

Great job, that's what's wrong with the world kids being allowed to do what ever they want patents to scared to discipline the child and don't get me started on the little arsewipes who say it's Child Abuse

I ask my son when his eyes start tearing
"has that ever worked for you even one time "?
No sir ,,"Well its certainly not working now "
But I spank for bad behavior ,we talk first so he understands why and the punishment is just ,,he bends over my knee ,takes his punishment ,,its over never to be mentioned again
,,but for not sharing he got spanked and the other kids got to play with his toy ,while he considered how his not sharing cost him play time ,,and his toy ,,
when his time out is over he can pick a new toy ,,he lost that one

I agree and that's not too tough. When I was younger if I was being a brat I had stuff and privileges taken away. There's nothing wrong with it, at least in my opinion.

parenting is tough..teaching is even tougher, because now the parents blame their childrens bad behavior on the teacher, when it's the parents that are to blame..

There has to be rules but being consistent is tough for a lot of people.

@Spoiledbrat why?

Parents get busy and tired and that makes them weak which sends mixed signals. @SassySpiceSexy

@Spoiledbrat That's no excuse. They need to be tough on their kids. Just saying
