Maybe you should put your shelves higher, to start with, and avoid putting glass or any fragile things on there. These are things that should be put out of reach of small children! It's rather normal at her age to touch, throw away and break everything.

First of all i agree with stacey, you must avoid putting fragile things in a house where there is a child.

Then, i agree with splash too, If you think she's old enough to know these things, she should be old enough to receive some smacks as you say

She had to climb the shelves to knock the glass figures down! She ran around knocking books of the sleves, throwing magaizines around!! Its not like i have the glass ordements just waiting for her to knock over. Its not like she is 2 and does know, she is in school for bloody hells sake!

I would talk to her mum and if she is okay with it, i would smack that child bottom so hard that it would be bright red!!!

You're not nice I don't like people who beat children. This is called child abuse, you can go in prison for this. Think about it

When a child's naughty, I think that before giving him some punition of any kind, we should try first, to talk to the child and make him or her understand WHY it is bad to do such things or any other! If you just punish him or her, and he or she doesn't even know why, he will never understand why he or she should not do that again!

i agree with wish.it would have been better to explain to the child what is right and what is wrong b4 punishing her.
as u said it urself she quite old enough so maybe she would have understood

Wish's right. I think she raised an important point here, I watched a program once about how to deal with hyperactive and real disobedient children! And the person said that EXPLAINING to a child WHY he has done this or that is very important, so that he knows he is not being punished for nothing. SO that he learns something from it also.
