[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We put them on time out. [/quote] I don’t want to pile on, but your kids do not care about time outs. You need natural consequences that relate to what they did. [/quote] Time outs are for toddlers. I repeat what I said - you guys need a parenting class.[/quote] To be helpful - at 4 and 6, they can and should clean up any messes they make. So running around the house with snack bars getting crumbs and other stuff every where? As a natural consequence, they clean every bit of it up. Full stop - make those jokers pick up the big pieces, sweep, vacuum AND mop. Even if it takes hours (Or until you get tired of supervising. Just make it painful for them). I'd bet after doing that once or twice, they won't do it again. Having them sit in time out while they watch you clean up a mess they made so they can turn around and make another one doesn't make sense, right? [/quote]
