So how many of you give dhamkis to your kids, like if you don’t eat I’ll throw you in the garbage (
not that I’ve ever done that) but you what I’m talking about…
List some of your famous ones…and the kids responses.
Here are mine:
more to come…
Re: "Dhamki"
How about that one
let me make a video of you doing that so I can send it to your teacher.
Re: "Dhamki"
It usually goes like this
Me: If you don't pick up you toys, I will throw them in garbage
Them: That would be wasting money. That really doesn't make any sense MOM
Me: If you don't eat bhindi, then you will never be tall
Them: That really doesn't make any sense MOM.
Me: If you don't brush your teeth, your teeth will fall off
Them: Aren't these milk teeth - that's doesn't make any sense MOM
You get my drift.
Re: “Dhamki”
They are so smart 
Re: "Dhamki"
too smart - I want bhoongay children!
Re: "Dhamki"
Me: Stop it. Stop the noise. Put your toys away and get into bed.
Them: Mom, calm down, reeee-laaaax.
Re: “Dhamki”
mom: chullay’ich 'po.
me:

Re: "Dhamki"
hmmm I don't have kids yet but I baby sat my nephew (two) and he was just going crazy...really hyper and bouncing off the walls. And then he held the door knob to the bathroom, stradled the door and began swinging back and forth - I told him I would give him a time out....
he looked me straight in the eye, said okay and stood in the corner for a bit and then went back to swinging on the door !
Has anyone ever had their kids call their bluff ?
Re: “Dhamki”
All your kids are adorable! I wish I was as witty as a kid.. I used to just be like “noooo” and start crying 
love this one!
Re: "Dhamki"
If you touch the t.v., you are going in the crib.
Runs and presses all the buttons. Is then picked up and tossed into the crib.
If you touch the t.v., I'm turning off your DVD.
Runs and presses all the buttons on the TV. Turn off DVD, you were told not to touch it .... then he runs away and acts like didn't do anything while looking at me all doe-eyed and innocent.
sigh
Re: “Dhamki”
Me: if you dont do this .. I will call your dad
her: relax, calm down mom (in german of course) her favorite gumla!
Me: I will throw your toys in the trash
her: no you won’t
…
ps. OMG Nikki, I just saw that your daughter says the same 
Re: “Dhamki”
… I was once babysitting this little kid .. he’s a monster by the way … so one day I had picked him up and he was trying to pull of the decoration flowers off the wall .. right next to it was a mirror …
Me: dont do that , jinn will come and take you away if those flowers get off the wall
him: what does a jinn look like?
Me: very scary , huge eyes , red lips coz he eats all naughty kids up, wild hair just like a babbar shair ..
Him: * looking through the mirror at me and then asking me softly *.. you are a Jinn ?
I was so stunned and out of words didnt know what to say …handed him back to him mom and never set foot into her home again ..Izzat subko piyara hota hai 
Re: "Dhamki"
CB, its not good to scare kids with jinns and ghosts, they might really get scared and might not be able to sleep good at night or go out in the dark ect.....
^ Saadia i think at certain times this jinn aajeyga thing really works , my nephew who is soooo naughty when you tell him ke jinn ajayega he actually calms down and sits down.. but he sleeps fine...
i see adults using this for kids the whole time...bt yes it could also really scare some kids.
Re: “Dhamki”
in my case , the kid scared me 
Re: "Dhamki"
what about the big bad monster?
Re: "Dhamki"
Also, the naughty step seems to work very well for us

Agree, has happened to my 2 year old when her mummy scared her with using ghost word.
The throw out dolls trick work on ours too :) except it has to be mummy. Daddy will get his hair pulled out :(
We tend to have the good guy and the bad guy role. Zakya being so natural as teh bad guy works wonders when it comes to things kids don't want doing.
