    I'm wondering where the line is between appropriate and inapproapriate emotional blackmail of small children.

    If you emotionally blackmail children of any age, they will learn this way of behaving. It's not good, and there are better ways.

    I agree, of course we all want what is best for our children but it seems mean to me.

    It is standard child rearing practise in Japan an d look how they carry on.

    What do you define as emotional blackmail? almost any threat can be considered emotional blackmail can it not?

    PS, what's with the Japenese, thought they were cultured, hard working, respectful and lovers of comics -?????

    NEVER EVER EVER blackmail a child, whether it is emotional or physical, its very unfair on the child.

    The same line between slapping and smacking. 2 people will tell you differently.
