I've got a 5 & 6 yo. They are generally well behaved but i find myself using a couple of techniques that they might be a bit old for when they are not doing what they are asked.
- Counting 1, 2, 3, ... or
- Bribing: if you don't do this you won't have such and such
Its normally for small things like tiding up, putting shoes on, but sometimes a bit more significant but still usual stuff e.g. fighting with each other or being mean to their pet.
What do you do? Any book/techniques you can recommend to get me ready for the summer holidays. .!!
