[quote=Anonymous]Hitting/biting? -- immediate removal from whatever room/situation the kid is in, with a time-out in their room if possible so that they can calm down and behave appropriately.

Yelling? -- I say, "Use a nicer tone" and then I ignore anything that's not said in a reasonably polite tone.  You yell at me, I walk away.  Any request made in a rude tone will be denied.

Refusing to share? -- Assuming that the kid should be required to share, refusal to share = I take the toy away.

Getting out of bed at bedtime? -- Just put them back in.  As many times as it takes.  Without any smiling or talking.

Not brushing teeth/completing other task/chore?  -- Not brushing your teeth means no sugar for 24 hours.  Also, since it's non-negotiable, I will brush your teeth for you.  If it's something like putting shoes on because we need to go, then if you don't, I will, with running commentary about how only babies can't put on their own shoes, and big kids can put on their own shoes.  If it's cleaning up toys, then if you don't, I will--and I will put them away on the top shelf of the closet for a week.  If it's a household chore, then we can't do [fun thing] until we do [chore].
