I have come to the realisation that I am crap with implementing sanctions and sticking to them. I am normally all for an easy life but realise that I have shot myself in the foot with this attitude. All my kids are running rings around me. I am calm, calm, calm and then explode. No good for anyone.
I have just started 'rules' for DS1 (4.5) and they are working beautifully. Just very simply counting to three when he starts whinging/playing up etc with the threat of being put in his bedroom. (This hasn't happened yet).
Now I need to sort something for DD, who does unfortunately suffer from a lack of my attention. I think a lot of her playing up is for my attention so I realise I need to address that but what about when she does start hitting/shouting at her brother or the usual PITA stuff?
Should I send her to her room? SHe has a TV and books there. Take the TV away for a certain time?
Do you have a number of warnings first before doing this?
How the hell did I get to nine and a half with none of this in place?
