My method needs to change, cos right now, nothing works!

Time Out has never worked... the boys just don't seem to care. So it is the wooden spoon, but most times just the threat works. Lately with Justin, he has been getting it on the backside because he is just going nuts!! Jumping off the furniture, hitting, talking back, etc!

I am hoping to get some new ideas on this thread!!

nothing works. I have tried a billion different things and she is all better for all of 5 minutes and goes right back to whatever it was before.

The boys get grounded from tv, games, friends etc and the threat of that usually stops things.
Emily I use a combination of things depending on what is going on. Emma still whines and once in awhile has a tantrum so I have to be flexible in the dealing with her. For breaking a rule like eating in the family room she gets grounded from tv. Being mean to her sister (pushing, bossy, yelling) she gets grounded to her room. Whining to me or having a tantrum also gets her sent to her room. If she just will not stop whatever it is that she is doing then I will do the 1..2...3...and if at 3 she doesn't stop then she gets a swat on the butt.
With Payton a firm scolding usually does the trick because she is sensitive. If I catch her doing something that I had just told her not to do (coloring on walls, playing with decorative items on shelves etc) I may swat her but I can count on one hand how many times I have had to do that-lol..spoiled baby of the family. Now that she is older I make her clean the walls that she colors on or pick up stuff she got into and firmly scold her and that is enough. All I hafta do is threaten that I am going to count to 3 and she is pretty much good to go. Time outs have never really worked here either Jen..I think that it is a boy thing

Belive it or not the ONLY thing that works for me is Eye contact!! We just get down to there exact eye level, look them right in the eye and say STOP IT! Then they stop if not they get 1 swat in the bottom! If that does not work then i take stuff away movies, toys, bikes, all that.

Time outs work depending on the reason for them here - but not so much.

Ryan 'loses' things -he loses odd things though .. like orange juice (because he lives off of it ), movies or tv, sometimes he loses a certain amount of books -

I use different methods depending on the situation. I usually give her a choice, do this or you can't go outside or watch tv or whatever. Or, if you keep pitching that fit or disobeying or whatever, then you can't go outside or watch tv, etc. If it's really serious, then I tell her she has to stop what she is doing or get a spanking. All of that is really effective. I rarely have to spank her--not even once a month. Behavior modification works well with her.

lately i've been using time out with jacob and it works better than anything else... he hates to sit!!
i use the behavior modification too, but it doesn't work too well with jacob... it works quite well with nathan!!

usually the threat of a time out works here.

i just ignore his tantrums when they get thrown, i have no patience for it,so i just leave him where ever he is

Kiera is a baby, so not much more than redirection for her.

Nick rarely gives me any trouble. He's such a bright, layed back child. A stern no works pretty well. If it didn't I would stand him in the corner(he hates that).

The older boys get things taken away(video games, toys, outside time, TV, etc) depending on the behavior. For back talk or potty mouth, I use cayenne pepper. Oh and copying the dictionary(or writing sentences) is always fun.
