I am a foster mom to 6 kids, we use time out, positive reinforcement, goals, charts etc. In the past I have come up with some good ideas like "hug fest" two kids who are fighting having to stand and give each other hugs for five minutes. Or taped X's on the floor for them to sit on, just close enough to have to deal with each other but far enough away so they can not touch. The kids are older now, 9, 6, and 5 being the main ones. One will not follow directions at all, will leave messes all over and no matter how many times you show her she still does the same thing. One has melt downs and will hit the other kids, then runs up stairs and hides on the top bunk of the triple bunk bed, then will not come down for his punishment. The last nothing seems to phase him! Nothing you do works! He does not care! I have tried taking TV away, the pool, the toys, outside, everything!
I appreciate any ideas!!!
Thanks
