The parents should have been called first. "Mrs. Jones, Johnny is throwing a fit, and we can't control him unless we brain him with a chair. Do you want to come deal with him or should we call the police?"

Any adult that can't handle an eight year old kid needs to be put to sleep.

I can handle my own 8 year old. My problem would be in handling some other parents' unruly 8 year old. If he/she won't listen, I would have to touch the child (not in a Michael Jackson way) and open myself up for a lawsuit. In today's lawsuit happy world, I'd let the kid have his fit, get the other children away, and call the parents. I could handle them, I just wouldn't want to have to explain it afterwards in court.

I would just hold the kid against the wall by his neck and tell him I'll crush his trachea unless he behaves. Problem solved.

All my parents sign waivers. In my class, your child WILL behave.

Or I will make he/she with that they had. Unfortunately, I have enjoyed enough success in that area that my classes are becoming a form of behavior modification therapy. I don't even beat 'em!

Make a 6 year old do 100 push-ups and you will have their attention for a good long while. Yes, a 6 year old can do 100 push-ups, and yes you have to make them do it. Behavior modification is all about eliminating choices and establishing dominance.

Example:
Coach Andy: Ryan! We do not hit our classmates, on your belly and give me 100!
Ryan: No!
Coach Andy: Ryan, you cannot participate in MY wrestling class untill you complete those push-ups!
Ryan: I don't care! I won't do it!
Coach Andy: Then you will sit facing the wall until you complete those push-ups.
Ryan: Nuh-uh! You can't make me!
Coach Andy: *Swoops acros room like the wrath of god, lifts small boy up, spins him around and sits him facing the wall* Really?
Ryan: *Begins throwing complete spaz attack, screaming, biting, hitting, attemting to throw objects*
Coach Andy: *crosses Ryan's arms and pins his wrists in the indusrty standard "basket hold"*
Ryan: *continues spazzing for about two minutes, then starts bawling that he wants me to let go*
Coach Andy: Ready to do those push-ups yet?
Ryan: *sobbing* Yes!
Coach Andy: Get started.

Aaaaaaaaand SCENE!

Actual events from one of my classes. The kid is a complete behavioral nightmare. Violent, explosive, no remorse or concience. The only thing he responds to is STRONG, FIRM, CONSISTENT discipline. This eight-year-old in the strory sounds like the same thing.

Incidentally, Ryan is in 3 of my programs and is rapidly becoming a model student and athlete. I'm actually pretty proud of the little bastard.

When I used to participate in PEPI and my kids misbehaved, I'd make them run suicides until they dropped. I had very few discipline problems.

Good Stuff. As long as the parents realize this may happen, agree to it, sign on the dotted line, etc... then it sounds like a good method to me. I agree, most of the problem children I have met didn't have strong, firm, and consistent discipline. You truly need all 3, especially the consistent part.
