Hi Ted,
Just wrote a book called "Want Great Kids? It takes Good Parenting!"
Hopefully will be available on booksurge.com at the end of next week.
Anyway I wrote a chapter on Punishment or Redirecting Bad Behavior.
I have a boy and a girl and for years it was a battle until I
discovered the perfect equal punishment. Doesn't matter who started it
or who finished it...They both do the time! Simply, they get one
warning and if they don't stop, it's jumping jack time. Depending on
their age, start with 25 and then double each time they misbehave.
Chances are the nice one will do it gladly and the not so nice will
fight you every step of the way. BUT, eventually they will start
working as a team, and it just might stop. My kids learned to get along
in a real short period of time. See it through whether it be in the
parking lot or at the shopping mall.
Worked wonders for me! Need to contact me? : website is:
