When my grandmother sent me I always came back with a size of switch that fit the punishment but when I did something really bad, I never came back with one I could not handle swatting my bottom a few times.I have two children who had to be reminded a few times of right from wrong, but I have one child that is very well mannered that seemed like she was born to know right from wrong. We all make mistakes, the important thing is not to beat ourselves up for them, but to learn from them and grow.
