Grounding for a 6 Year Old

Won't get in to all the details as it would take forever. So long story short, our 6 year old had definitely given us a run for our money. Very smart, but very stubborn. He absolutely obsesses over things and will attempt to badger us half to death to try and get his way. We have followed many "guidelines" for punishments, and for awhile now, a long while the consequences are immediate. He doesn't get multiple chances to stop a behavior etc We were advised by a counselor to do that. I feel like these consequences need to be turned up a...

Food as Rewards

I just read this on another site http://www.circleofmoms.com/debating-mums/Food-used-as-positive-reinforcement-609569 and I thought it would be an interesting topic - do you give your children food as rewards for doing something well? I don't do this with my son because I'm afraid it may lead to a weird eating habit later. I try to give him rewards like a hug, or a smile, and when he's done something really good, something small like a toy car or sticker book. What do you think? Should food be used as a reward?

What Do You Do for Punishment?

Hi, I have 3 kids, aged almost 6, 4 and 2. The older two are boys with the almost 6 year old in 1/2 day Kindergarten. I'm going to start this by saying I have great kids. Generally they are very well behaved, but they are kids and they make mistakes. I am curious about what other parents use for punishment as their kids get older. I use time out, distraction, and taking a break with my 2 year old, and my 4 year old gets time out and toys put in time out as well. But I am struggling to find appropriate punishment for my older boy....

Help with My 7 Year Old Daughter's Behavior

My daughter is only 7 years old (will be 8 this summer) and she already has the attitude of a teenager. She is very mouthy and disrespectful all the time. She will argue with you about ANYTHING and she ALWAYS has to be right. When someone makes her mad, she slams doors or throws things. She is always pinching or hitting her 4 year old brother (and she's really hurting him) and when I ask her why she does she says "because he's annoying me". I have taken away her TV, her Nintendo DS and have not allowed her to get on the computer (the...
