Kids are kids! I don't have all the answers, but my advice to you is find their "currency" & USE IT! If that means the TV is taken away from that child, well then so be it. Only you know what works for your children & also, you need to remember what works for one won't necessarily be what works for another. My 2 oldest kids are MAJOR social "butterflies", rarely are they here without a friend or two. That is MAJOR currency here. All I have to do is threaten to take friends away & they do whatever they are told (& usually with little to no "attitude"). My youngest DS, threaten to take away the ps3 & he snaps back into shape. All homework is to be done AS SOON AS THEY GET HOME FROM SCHOOL PERIOD! They can have a snack while they are doing homework. No homework completed, NOTHING else gets done, no outside, no TV, no basketball, NOTHING. That seems to work here. <br /><br />Just remember to be consistent, it will take time, but you're a great mom & they'll grow up to be great kids/adults! Hang in there!Brynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719595331238917496noreply@blogger.com
