  1. I cuffed my nephew round the ear once 'cos he was taunting his gran about her own dead mother. It was more of a reflex action than a considered one but it did the trick. I needed to communicate to him just how grievously he had hurt his gran with his comment and how badly he'd fucked up. A few years later I was monitoring him while he played football with some other kids in the park. He's not a very good player and an even worse loser so he started resorting to just shoving and hitting other kids when they came in to tackle the ball from him. I had told him multiple times to stop doing it but he persisted. Eventually I got fed up with him ignoring me and I went over and shoved him hard to the ground. Instant waterworks. But, after he'd dried his eyes, I got him to acknowledge that he'd been doing the same thing to the other lads and that it really wasn't very nice. He stopped doing it after that. He's still a sore loser but he doesn't hit anyone because of it. I stand by my actions 100%. In both cases words were not sufficient to communicate his mistake to him. He simply didn't understand what was being explained to him. But he understood "ow" and it made him stop, made him think. In hindsight, now, he can look back on those instances and understand what he did wrong and why it happened the way it did. No long-term harm.
