The warning comes at the same time when spankings begin, when the child is old enough to understand why they are being spanked. The rules of our house are posted, and are carefully explained at the time, usually about 3 years old. I have posted the rules here before, but here they are again...

1. I will obey my father and mother or any person my parents place in authority over me. I will do what I am told to do when I am told to do it, cheerfully, and to the best of my ability. That also means when I am told not to do something, I will not do it.

2. I will not lie

3. I will not steal.

4. I will not use inappropriate language.

5. I will not show disrespect for, or argue with my parents, or any adult with authority over me.

6. I am in school to learn. I will do so to the best of my ability. I will obey my teachers and others in authority at the school. If my grades do not show that I am trying my best, or if I misbehave in school, I will be punished at home even if I have been punished by the school.

7. When I am punished I will cooperate and not resist in any way, to do so violates both rule 1 and rule 5. If I do not cooperate, or if I resist in any way, I will be punished further.

You will notice that rule 4 says "inappropriate language." This purposely allows some wiggle room. If the child cusses after hurting themself painfully, skinned knees after falling off a bike, etc., instead of a spanking, a verbal reminder about their language is given instead of a spanking.

When strictly, and consistently applied these rules can work wonders. They were the rules I grew up under in the 1950s and '60s, and they were the rules I raised my own kids under. Now, they are the rules my sons use with their own children.
