Should I Have Taken Away the Egg Hunt? A Parenting Dilemma

This weekend, I found myself questioning a decision I made as a parent. After some challenging behavior from my child, I considered taking away our annual egg hunt as a consequence. The tradition means so much to our family, and I wondered if removing it would teach a valuable lesson or simply take away a moment of joy we all cherish. Parenting is full of these tough calls—balancing discipline with grace. Sometimes, I worry if my choices are too harsh or too lenient. Have you ever faced a similar dilemma with family traditions?
