Discipline Techniques Based on Age

How did we discipline our kids when they were a young age?
We sent them to their rooms with instructions to come up with a list of consequences that we could impose the next time they fought. We placed the consequences around the perimeter of a board, put a spinner in the center, and called it the Better Behavior Wheel.
It has worked so well that we expanded it, adding different sets of consequences to match different behavior problems. In fact, for the past four months we have been producing the Wheel and selling it online. So far we have sold thousands of them, all over the English speaking world.
One of the great features, is that when the kids misbehave, it's the Wheel they have to answer to. You're no longer the bad guy.
It's easy to respond quickly and consistently to inappropriate behavior. The kids know that being naughty will always result in having to spin the Wheel. We hang ours in the kitchen, in plain sight of all. It makes for a really good deterrent. Visit us at http://www.better-behavior.com
