(CNN) – Parents are threatening to cancel Christmas to get their kids to behave this holiday season.
According to a new study by C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, 1 in 4 parents are threatening to not buy any presents to get their kids to correct misbehavior.
Experts warn that threats can backfire, especially when parents do not follow through.
Parents should learn to lean on each other and not be afraid of public meltdowns when they happen, experts say.
The survey looked at 725 parents who have at least one child aged 1 to 5 years old.
