I got a couple of doozies here, WOW! I'm talking about EVIL!!! They're doing things that I hadn't had a chance to do when I was a child, and they're doing it and getting caught!! I know that I was a spoiled brat when I was a kid, and I know that I've done things that I should have gotten beat for, BUT I did them and didn't get caught.
Well, if you do have a brat, what do you do to get them in line?
I'm against hitting children, so I just want mental solutions, like, how do I go about teaching my spoiled brats the ways of not getting caught, because the times have changed, and these other adults are more wiser these days, compared to the idiots of back then.

You should've controlled them while you had the chance...you have to mold children at a young age.
Now you're trying to undo the damage you've done and it's going to be hard.
You don't believe in hitting and maybe that's why they are that way. I am talking about hitting as in spanking. A good old fashioned spanking never hurt anyone.
You've created those "evil brats"...
"how do I go about teaching my spoiled brats the ways of not getting caught"..there's a problem with your parenting! Get some help!

Kids are spoiled because their parents spoil them. Now you have to undo the damage. Take away their privileges and don't let them out of your sight. Make them learn there are consequences for their actions and FOLLOW through on your threats of punishment. Become the drill sergeant and take the control back. It will be a struggle and they aren't going to like you very much but you are the parent. Kick some butt and get them in line before it is too late.

I don't consider any CHILD a brat for one. Any parent that calls their kids brats, to me that qualifys for lack of parenting skills. That is just name calling to a child, I have never called my child names like that ever. I don't need to.
More positive influences and more praises would be beneficial. Spend time with your children, they actually like that you know. Talk to them about their day in school. Praise them when they do well in school. Help them if they are having trouble. Set rules and boundaries. NO child should be hit period. Violence doesn't solve ANYTHING.

I'm not sure there is one good answer, but I feel that keeping your children active is key. All kids should have time set aside for school work. But there needs to be more activities in their day to keep them busy and out of trouble. Sports is a good eater of free time. Sports has several upsides. 1st it gives them a chance to be around other kids. 2nd exercise, helps to keep your child healthy. 3rd they learn the concepts of team work & discapline. 4th if give them a chance to shine,and for you to be there to cheer and suport them.
If physical activity is not something they or you are not comfortable, try any of the group activities....girls or boy scouts, ymca or ywca.
But remeber the school work should always come 1st, then the activity. The other key is you have to be an active party to both the school work and the extra activity.

The best thing you can do is be a good parent. Teach your children right from wrong and let them know there are consequences to every action.
