[quote=Anonymous]Okay this one is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally dirty one, comes from a very old parent who shared this with me on something entirely else when I was complaining about "kids these days.. and phones.."

He said.. "First you need to provoke them into fight, or wait patiently until they get into deep doo doo".. "then.. use this as a reason to completly take away all privileges"

Half of the game done.

Now be smart about making them earn back inch by inch from scratch like they never had it.  Give very little in exchange for a lot so they will have to start appreciating what they have, learn to be nice and control their urges.

Make strict rules and new contract and start over.

Have to have a set of rules and set of consequences.

Let them trip few times and show who's your daddy.. back to square one.

and start over.

You need to regain the grounds, reinstate the authority and squash the rebel spirit"

Every time I think about that conversation I can not stop laughing.
They raised many kids and grand kids and were loved super well so maybe there is something in this wisdom?

But it takes guts, and strength and we are all so tired.. soooooooooo tire that sometimes towing at them 50 bucks to stop using the screen for a day seems like so much less work.. just kidding hahahaha
