What the heck is a punishment tickling???

I'm fairly sure this doesn't belong in the "Disciplining Children" category.

Face down over the lap, just like a spanking. It's hard for tickling to work as a punishment. It would have to be pretty impersonal. Tickling of the ribs face down while holding the arms in front overhead is the best way to do it. If the child is a runner, it's probably best to lay them on a couch while doing it, holding ones legs down. If you can't hold him/her down, honestly they are probably too old to be getting this kind of light discipline anyway. Tickling only works on very young children, and it's not a good option if you plan on fostering tickling as a bonding tool. If you are completely abhorred by the concept of a spanking though, it may be your best option, but you must ensure the tickling is not something they enjoy, you must go past their limits, and associate it with punishment early on or don't do it at all. Also, if the child has siblings, do not have the other "join in" as I've heard of some families doing. It's not supposed to be a game. You wouldn't have a sibling assist in a spanking would you? If anything, if the sibling is jeering or mocking of the situation, he/she should probably have a session too. I recommend neither be present at eithers punishment. It should be a personal lesson. One they can hear from a distance and should never witness. They should know that it is not fun and games, and that you are in control of the situation. Do not hurt your child, but show that they are not in control of you when they misbehave.

Punishment tickling is an excelent way to discipline children and best only used for skinny children. They should be tied spread eagle and wearing very little or no clothing; Fingers are the best used. Make sure they are tied well with good restricted movement so they know they are being punished and are not able to do anything about it. The tickling should be very intense and not at all enjoyable for them as its their punishment. Be sure to tickle all areas especialy tickish ones, scriblling ur fingers fast and hard and digging in hard with fingers. Good ticklish techniques i have used for children are digging fingers into area just above and around there hip bones and upper groin area. Children also tend to have very ticklish armpits and tummys which is an area i often exploit as well as feet and ribs. Scribling fingers up and down ribs is a good technique also The punishment should last a good amount of time, i tend to carry it out for around 20 mintues up to an hour depending on how much they need to be punsihed.
