Still no sources I see.

Taking things away from our kids to help them change their behaviour often looks like taking away privileges, toys, or activities. There are a few reasons why “taking things away” is an ineffective method of discipline.

hy·poc·ri·sy /həˈpäkrəsē/ noun the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform

I’ve actually spent a fair bit of time looking into studies/insight from the behavioral health world on this matter, and the general consensus seems to be that it’s a profoundly terrible idea.

I have told him multiple times that i am for taking away things when kids don’t listen.

Seems like the definition of hypocrisy. It's a profoundly terrible idea based on these "studies/insight" you won't provide yet you do it yourself.

If you bothered with the link I've posted 3 times which is sourced, something your own claims aren't.

I don't need to resort to personal attacks and deflect when challenged.
