[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What works better for you, OP?[/quote]

Assigning extra chores.

They get their toys/electronics/rides/etc AFTER said chores are completed. Then at least my house gets vacuumed, dishes get done, etc when my kids misbehave. It may sound silly, but this goes a long way in helping me stay calm and collected in difficult situations.

Also, I never threaten anything I’m not prepared to follow through on. My kids 100% know I mean it when I say something. This is the most important thing. I see parents yelling, threatening all sorts of things and their kids still don’t listen. Of course not! They threatened to leave and and are still screaming 20 minutes later - of course their kids don’t take them seriously. Taking away screens is the next easiest option. [/quote]

Above is not OP, but I am OP.

Honestly don’t want to say what we do because I will be roasted, as is very OP on DCUM. It’s not taking away electronics because they don’t have any.[/quote]

So you spank your kids, am I right?[/quote]

Oh, wow, just wow. This is OP and I’m finding it really telling that people think the only way to discipline a child is by causing them discomfort or distress in SOME way, but okay. The point is that this is DCUM.  If I told you I spanked (never), you’d roast me. If I told you I took away sweets, you’d tell me I’m creating a future eating disorder. If I told you I used reward charts, you’d say I was spoiling my kid, and if I told you I set boundaries without punishing, you’d tell me I spoiled them worse. Let’s I do whatever it is you find most offensive, I do that. [/quote]
