If their snacks contain chemicals and sugar then expect them to be so active.I don't believe it's hunger it's just plain boredom . I have never used a stick(they are all grown up now). I just punish by taking away all their goodies and stick to what I say (this I believe is most important)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1142674498475557562006-03-18T04:34:00.000-05:002006-03-18T04:34:00.000-05:00Holly - who's getting beaten?

This only works if the actually do some studying after the Chinese jump-rope though.cybergaijinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470742837333078596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1142669333276157682006-03-18T03:08:00.000-05:002006-03-18T03:08:00.000-05:00i believe there are 2 types of kids those who need...i believe there are 2 types of kids those who need to be beat and those that can be bribed .... i have one of both..... the bribes are breaking me and the beatings are hurting my hands ....but hey whatever works right..... hugs hollyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1142631863929708352006-03-17T16:44:00.000-05:002006-03-17T16:44:00.000-05:00The stick?

(Or the study desk, whatever)<BR/><BR/>Abraham Maslow´s theory of human motivation usually works for me. Every A+ from my kids will get them 150 USD and every A 80 USD. I tell them: "If you´re smart, you can ruin me!". But they just say: "But Mama, we´ll get them anyway from Dad.." This strategy usually works shortly before holidays.<BR/><BR/>Or try Sun Tzu´s "Forestall your opponent by seizing what he holds dear, and subtly contrive to time his arrival on the ground." But you already took away the satellite receiver, didn´t you? Maybe you need to take something they really want?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes reverse psychology works: tell them they can do what they want, as long as they don´t study. You will get the looks, but they will get the creeps and study.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!LadyCrochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725989450693309463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1142624981421437732006-03-17T14:49:00.000-05:002006-03-17T14:49:00.000-05:00use the stick, it's very useful in these cases, Ma...use the stick, it's very useful in these cases, May God help YouAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1142623414587697312006-03-17T14:23:00.000-05:002006-03-17T14:23:00.000-05:00Just think , in the States it is Spring Break time...Just think , in the States it is Spring Break time !Ready to move ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
