My son is sometimes forgetful and even forgets to button and sip up his pants even when going out in public. My wife thinks I should baby him, but I tell her that I need to ride his butt so he has disipline in his life. What should I do?

    How old is your son? The answer to this question is different if he is 3 vs. 23.

    Your approach to discipline should be age appropriate.

    If you are worried about your sons ability to remember things like his zipper, you should look at information about cognitive development and specifically look at development in boys...the fact is, boys have trouble with this kind of stuff sometimes!

    Your husband needs to also be in on the education...if you are dealing with a small child, "riding his butt" seems counter-productive. If you are dealing with a teenager, a blended approach of discipline and encouragement may be in order. Plus, different kids respond to different methods. If you have a super senstitive kid, ruling with an iron fist may make things worse.
