How to parent more predictably (2018)
Another thing I havent seen mentioned is rather than punish (by taking away things) for bad behavior, you should be rewarding for good behavior. Meaning every privilege has to be earned.<p>This is a subtle difference but works well. The default for most people is you get to play electronics. If you are bad we are taking them away. Instead, the default should be you do X, Y and Z, to earn the privilege to play with electronics. This is every single day.<p>Instead of you didnt clean your room, you dont get to play electronics. It would be, you cleaned your room, you earned some electronics time.
