I take away some of their privileges, particularly for Raven. The biggies with him are his game systems and iPod. If he doesn't keep his grades up and keep his room cleaned, he loses them until he fixes the problem. Drake's biggie is our weekly "sleepover" - on Friday and Saturday nights, we'll pick a movie, camp in the living room, and watch the movie until we fall asleep. If he misbehaves, we don't do it. The main rules in my house are no fighting and no yelling.

thanks for answering my post - maybe you saw that the teacher canceled the lessons so I was a bit disappointed. I know that with the Japanese kids, it's all about games and tv, so those seem to be the big punishments everywhere - denying the games and tv and perhaps internet. for my sister, it was probably to deny her the phone, or dates!

aw, that's cute, a sleepover and camping in the living room. sounds so fun!! that would be disappointing to have that taken away:)

thanks again!!
*hugs*

I did see that :( That is very disappointing!

Taking the game systems or iPod away works VERY well on Raven!
