It is the holidays and I need to find a way to cope, enjoy and like my children

[coventgarden]

I am thinking about the ignore the bad behaviour idea.

How does it work? DO you literally ignore everything they do that is wrong/unacceptable?

What about when they are physically hurting each other or kicking me?

how old are the children?

i ignore my dc some of the time. tell them to sort out their fights themselves. only to call me when blood is involved. they dont kick me, or be physical with me, so not sure how you deal with that.

Rather than ignore, what if you offered incentives for good behaviour (ice cream, swimming, cinema, etc)?
