[quote=Anonymous]I have a 3 and 6 yo.  This is what we do:

[b]Hitting/biting?[/b] immediate removal/time out

[b]Yelling?[/b] Depends on context.  If they are yelling at each other, I will ask them to quiet down and speak to each other nicely.  If they yell at me, I will say, "Don't yell at me.  I'm happy to listen to what you have to say once you can talk to me in a normal tone of voice."

[b]Refusing to share? [/b] Take turns. Each one gets the toy/activity for 5 minutes then they switch.  Keep going until they find something else to do, which usually happens after 1 round.  If someone refuses to take turns, they lose their chance completely.

[b]Getting out of bed at bedtime? [/b] They will be escorted back to bed immediately as many times as it takes until they no longer get out of bed. My kids no longer do this, though.

[b]Not brushing teeth/completing other task/chore?[/b]  I will ask/remind them only twice.  If they are still not complying, I tell them I'm counting to 3 and if they don't get moving, then X will happen.  Usually X is something like "no playing before bedtime" or "I will leave and go downstairs" or "I will take away that toy" - something that makes sense depending on the context.  Sometimes I have to follow through but most of the time, they get moving by the time I count to 2. [/quote]
