Answer 2

First, take a break. I have a gate on my staircase. I close it so my son can stay in the play room and close all the doors so the only othe room he can go to is his room. Take 5-10 of me time just to cool off.

Then, if they are old enough explain for every infraction (your rules - establish negotiable and non negotiable rules if you haven't and let them know these) you will take away a precious toy for a certain amount of time. The time depends on the age of the child. The older the child the longer time spent without it.

I'd start with TV if they have one in their rooms. That will get their attention real quick. Then, go from there to a dolly to a car to video games to a dvd. Whatever will get their attention.

If they are younger just keep the rules simple. And, be consistant. EVERY single time they break the rule issue a time out. MAKE them sit there. Physically if you need to. Be calm and say why they have to sit. And, if they don't sit nicely you'll make them sit longer. If they continue to fight take some privilege away or a toy/game away.

As an alterior punishment make them stand nose in corner or nose against wall if you don't have a corner available. Make them put their toes to the baseboard and keep hands at their sides. Or, a more lienant punishment of having them wear the naughty cap while on the couch or at the table. Just a simple cap everyone knows is the naughty cap. The more outrageous the better. My mom made one like a dunce cap and made us sit in the middle of the room. My dad used to take a piece of his newpaper and fold it into those silly caps and make us wear it. lol, funny now but it worked!

Consistancy is key. If you are beyond limits take their toy box away for a day. Tell them they can "earn" back each toy one at a time for good behavior. Tell them what good behavior means in your home. Either it's following mom's instructions w/o having to repeat the request or making the bed or flushing the toilet or giving something to the other sibling...

Then praise them like h e l l for every good thing they do. :))

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Are you talking about your sister or your child. If it's a sibling don't give her what she wants which attention. You take that away and she'll come crawling to you willing to comply to your eveery whim or better yet just leave you alone. If it's a child you need to practice instilling good morals and removing materialism. Slowly start by not rewarding bad behavior. Just because she wants a cookie doesn't mean she gets one, you keep giving it to her and she has the upperhand, you put your foot down and she learns that she's not in charge and won't always get her way. Don't forget to reward the good beahvior though in positive ways

Answer 4

If they are you're siblings, it's not your place to discipline them. Following advice my mom gave me a few months ago about my daughter, sometimes children that are misbehaving constantly are doing it because they need attention. Don't just turn on the TV and leave them to entertain themelves. Find engaging activities for you all to do together- go outside, let them ride their bikes, take them for a walk, read books, put puzzles together, etc. Sometimes when children are being crazy, it's simply because they need some one-on-one time with their mother or father.

Answer 5

You need to try time out, for the brats and also for the mommy.
Walk away, if you can't handle the situation.. send the child to
their room until you have the situation under control

Good Luck and you can always pray for wisdom.
Prayer never hurts.

Answer 6

Stop spoiling them and if there young enough threaten them with something scary. When I was little My mother told me there was a lady in this house with big green teeth and that she was going to drop me off with her is I didn't behave. I go home to this day that house creeps me out. Trust me it will work.

Answer 7

Set boundraries and stick to it. Most children are spoiled due to the parents.

Answer 8

are they your spoiled brats? anyway see things from there point of view are they testing you? do you need to rediretc them? is it there food(to much sugar ect) ? are they board? there are so many ways to handle this that you need to be more specific anyway the course of action should be thought threw and remember if they are yours this to shall pass and if not thank God

Answer 9

You can start by taking away privileges. And don't buy them stuff. Punish them for their behavior and be consistent. We give our kids too much that they don't appreciate. Take away some stuff. Pack up a big bag (actually it was 6 when I did it to my kids) and get rid of some stuff. When the start to settle down, start rewarding them with your time. Bring them places, movies, chucky cheese, whatever. But try to not reward them with materialistic things.

Answer 10

A) You can't control them, they aren't robots.

B) You shouldn't be hitting your sisters.

C) Try engaging them in a fun activity like Play-Doh or coloring. They need to focus their energy into something constructive.
