           This was first done when I was about twenty-five years old or a little younger or a little older at our house or home. This still is another reason why the Philippine Governments and the others did what they did to me, putting me down, for years and decade/s.

         Sometimes as a parent you couldn't avoid to lay a hand on your child even if you truly love him. Because of the pressures from your work, from your friends, family, partners in life you tend to lose your temper and release it on your child even at the slightest offense that he makes. I had taken care of a young boy before and together we played games. Yes we played many games, and one of those was the prisoners game. We played this many times. I would tell him that we are going to play a game and he will be my prisoner. I would ask him to run around in the living room and I would chase him. Laughing, he would run around the living room and I would chase him. He was laughing most of the time and when I thought it was time I would catch him, carry him and 

make him sit on the sofa right in front of our TV and tell him that he is my prisoner and he is not allowed to leave until I tell him so. Laughing he would obey and sit still and watch TV beside me. And then I would tell him that as a prisoner he was not allowed to laugh and say anything, he was supposed to just sit still. Surprisingly, he obeyed. We played other games too and when I get tired I would just tell him that he was a prisoner so he would sit still again and I could rest. And eventually, I discovered that I could use it to discipline him in times that he was misbehaving. I would make him sit on the sofa once again and make him sit still as a prisoner. I made him sat on the corner of my mother's bed in her room with the door opened so he could still watch TV and he would sit still. I also made him sat on the swing outside our house with me of course watching him from the window inside our mother's room to make sure that he wouldn't go outside our house through our gate. All those times he obeyed and sat still. He 

would only get up if I approached him and made him so. But of course he refused at first but after just a few seconds he would smile a little and get up and go with me. Yes he would only get up if I tell him so. There were times that when he was a prisoner his mother, his aunt, his uncle, or his nanny would approach him and make him get up. But he would just shake their hands away and refuse to move. He would just sit still or stand still on an area where he is actually free to do whatever he wants. I imprisoned him but I saw to it that I was always watching him. That was how I made that young boy behave without having to lay a hand on him, not even once. 
          Maybe the next time you would feel the need to make your child behave you'll remember the game I played, the Prisoners Game. Moreover, we can find find application of this article on a Google Game Show wherein toddlers or kids (or teens, adults, and senior citizens) are told to stay in one place and do something and find out if they would obey given bribes or foods or toys or any incentives to persuade them to leave from their posts or to stop what they were told to do on their posts. This article could also be used and applied on Google Reality Shows for all ages.
          Thanks, and I hope that this Google article is helpful to you.....
