my children just do whatever they want, have no respect for me or DP, ignore rules. They are both girls, 3 and 6. The elder one is particularly difficult. We have consequences, we follow through. it makes no discernible difference. We are clear about rules (there aren't that many of these - the obvious ones, I imagine). But a day at home is just a constant round of yelling, time outs, girls refusing to do things unless they are threatened, withdrawal of privileges, at which point they have no incentive to behave. I am running out of consequences. I do praise good behaviour, but they just don't seem to give a crap, frankly. And I am not enjoying it at all. Where to go from here?
