I like the idea of a chore being 'chaging atmosphere' instead of punishment.<br /><br />I am already seeing changes from the no tv time. There are times that I feel like tv at all is poison. (We don't have cable, just DVD's and a screen) It is so nice to not have it in the house for a while. I talked to Dh about it and he is on board (as much as someone who says "yeah, whatever you say" can be)... so we are going tv super light for a while.<br /> <br />ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855106094413959486.post-21045081277067873912009-07-01T14:04:53.567-07:002009-07-01T14:04:53.567-07:00That sibling meaness is horrible isn't it?! I ...That sibling meaness is horrible isn't it?! I quite often deal with it by telling them that if they are getting on each others nerves that badly then they need to be in different places and doing separate things. I also put (more) limits on the tv/wii/computer because it is ofen a power struggle. My only other suggestion is to sit them down, explain how it sounds, how it changes the atmosphere in the house and how it needs to stop. I give them consequences - if they make the feeling in the house bad they have to help change it back- usually by doing a chore that needs doing straight away or running an errand.<br /><br />Sorry i have no really good advise!!!Annicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691832473765718313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855106094413959486.post-90283798978019710132009-07-01T09:04:31.599-07:002009-07-01T09:04:31.599-07:00No advice, just sympathy.

You don't have to tell me that!!!!" I mean what's with the attitude and meanness? They are so mean to each other in many of their interactions. Lakin has lots more fits these days....I am remembering why 2.5-3.5, while it is a cute age, is NOT my favorite age. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17289736864100513764noreply@blogger.com
