How do you discipline your children?

Question by Black Tiger: How do you discipline your children?
Well im trying to be a good dad to my step son, and so far its going great, first of all its like playing a video game., example A friend hands over his game controller and your like idk what to do!?!?!

Anyway, we spend some bonding every weekend, go fishing or go hunting. He is 16 btw, i bought him a computer last year and since “i gave it to him as a gift” i can’t do nothing about it, because its his now. We did compromise that the computer be setup on the living room for everybody to use. See im not bad at all.

How about you?

If you’re having trouble giving effective consequences to your teen, know that you are not alone. Many parents tell me that nothing seems to work, and that coming up with the right thing for their child can seem like an impossible task. If you’re the parent of an adolescent, you may have grounded your child, taken away their video games, or suspended their driving privileges for months on end. But as James Lehman says, you can’t punish kids into acceptable behavior—it just doesn’t work that way.

Rather, an effective consequence should encourage your child to change their behavior – whether that is abiding by the house rules, or treating people respectfully. So first, you need to identify the behavior you want to see changed. For example, if your child swears when they don’t get their way, you want them to behave more appropriately. Instead of grounding or punishing, or even reasoning with your child when he gets angry and lashes out, an effective consequence here would require your child to practice better behavior – and improve their self-control – for a period of time before their normal privileges are restored.

What are the best lures to use to catch salmon in rivers with a light current and shallower waters?

Question by Chloe: What are the best lures to use to catch salmon in rivers with a light current and shallower waters?
It’s spawning season here in SW Michigan and salmon fishing has been horrible. Irregardless of where YOU live, what kinds of lures (or live bait) have you had success with? And is there a certain motion I should use when reeling it back in? I really wish there was a book called “The Idiots Guide to Salmon Fishing” LOL! THANKS SO MUCH! I know I asked this a minute ago but I asked people who were familiar with this area and this question is geared more toward salmon fisherman everywhere!

Been doin’ Salmon (Chinook/King Salmon) and Steelhead for a’ FEW years on Pacfiic Northwest rivers but, instead of me runnin’ it down (each river, weather conditions, etc., methods and lures/bait will vary) I’ve givin’ you a’ link/site that will give excellent info regardin’ them, it be for Steelhead but, just scroll down page to Salmon. One of my personal Salmon catchers be the use of a Kwikfish lure with a’ Sardine wrap (links) but, this be from a’ driftboat backtrolling…<);-3

Could the “sea-kitten” campaign backfire and lead to people eating “land-kittens”?

Question by Sofa King: Could the “sea-kitten” campaign backfire and lead to people eating “land-kittens”?
PETA wants everyone to call fish, “sea-kittens”… okay, fair enough, we’ll call regular kittens, “land-kittens” and everybody will be happy. When people become comfortable with eating sea-kittens, will they branch out and start eating other types of kittens?

Doesn’t this contradict the idea that “Mass fish deaths happen every year, just not reported?”?

Question by : Doesn’t this contradict the idea that “Mass fish deaths happen every year, just not reported?”?

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/31/gulf-mammal-deaths-likely-far-higher-than-body-count-scientists-say/

For every dead dolphin or whale that washes up on Gulf Coast beaches, there may be 50 more that no one ever sees, a new study suggests.

Natural factors and last year’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico probably have caused thousands more dolphin and whale deaths than have been observed, a team of scientists says in a study published Wednesday by the journal Conservation Letters.
Damn straight Lester.

Answer by lestermount
How can anyone know what they don’t know?
If there are probably 50 more than are not observed where did they come up with that number?
Everything dies, it could be from old age or disease, or being eaten by another animal.
Mankind has an impact on life, but things lived and died before mankind walked on the face of the Earth.
I always doubt studies since I want to know who funded the study and what did they want to determine before they started the study, and what was the raw data that was used to write the report?
