how can i control my kids???

Question

i have 10 kids and i cant control them at all!!! plz help!!!

Answer 1

First of all, stop having kids.

Second of all, try discipline.. serious discipline.

Answer 2

With love, patience and a firm grip...

With 10 kids, you're going to have to find a couple who will cooperate and help you manage the others. Talk to the older kids, explain to them that you're all in it together, but you need help, and tell them you're going to give them more responsibility around the house (they'll like the authority, and it will help you out as long as they don't abuse it). Then, you can manage the older ones and delegate some of the day-to-day happenings to them. They can help you by getting chores done, watching the younger ones, and keeping themselves out of trouble. You guys are a family: work it together because you're all there to try to help and make life better for each other. Cooperation is the key.

Good luck--

Answer 3

You'll have to run your home like boot camp. You're the sergent and you don't take any poop off of anybody. No always means no, and back talk will earn you more chores.
Be the boss! Kids were not ment to come into this world without someone strong to direct them and show them love and a strength.
When you say something, you must mean it. You need to be consistant in order for the children to trust you. So, don't keep warning them before you take action for their behavior ~ take action!

Answer 4

10 kids????????????? I'm sorry but didnt you know what you were getting yourself into by the time # 3 came along?

With 10 kids I hope you work, does the daycare not help out with manor training?

How can you run it like a boot camp. You would be turned into child protective services? They dont want parents strict but the ones that beat their kids they dont seem to want to help.

Answer 5

I have 4 and that's a lot. You really have your hands full. If I were you, i'd be running my house like an army base, that's the only way you're going to survive it! You need strict schedules, organization, scheduled bonding time with your kids, daily routines for them and actual consequences when they don't do as told. You need consistency. Kids need a schedule and discipline. God bless you.

Answer 6

I don't know how serious you are or how legitimate my answer is, but when it comes to kids you can't try to control them. You need to lead them and get them to see the sense and what is in it for them by following your lead and by seeing you and themselves as part of a team.

Also, though, I would think in view of the inevitable chaos that ten kids is going to bring; you may want to divide and conquer. Divide them into three uneven groups - the oldest ones, the middle ones, and the youngest. Reason with the oldest ones, or threaten (nothing physical) if you have to. Direct the middle ones and threaten (nothing physical) if you have to. Supervise the youngest ones and separate them if you have to.

Make sure each child gets to talk with you and only you often, and while you're talking explain why some of the common sense rules you set make life better. Take one child out at a time for ice cream or lunch even if it takes you three weeks to get around to all ten. Recruit grandparents, aunts, and friends for some extra help with spending alone time with each child so each feels special. Ask these people to bring one child over for dinner or out for a treat once in a while.

Use paper plates at least for snacks. Require each child to pick up after himself. Have everyone keep bath products and clothes in their own room and just bring them into the bathroom as needed (and then bring them out so the bathroom will be left uncluttered).

Don't mix older kids with middle kids or middle kids with younger kids.

If none of this helps there's always convents and military schools.

Answer 7

Put them in time out are call a baby sitter to help you out.

Answer 8
