Refusing to share?

[b]not getting to have the thing they aren't sharing at all [/b]

Getting out of bed at bedtime?

[b] taking away electronics time seems reasonable [/b]

Not brushing teeth/completing other task/chore?

[b] taking away electronics time or other treats seems reasonable [/b]

We do take away TV time as the major consequence for our kids (3 & 4). The other thread about taking away electronics says this isn't a logical consequence to the behavior but we've struggled to think of what those would be for this age group. What do others do? [/quote]

I think for 3 and up the kid is old enough to make a connection between bad behavior or not complying with required tasks and losing electronics if you tell them that is what will happen and then always follow through, as long as the desired electronics time is reasonably close in time to the misbehavior and then you remind them when they ask for the electronics why they aren't getting it.[/quote]
