I think the UK has banned spanking too. That and children of different genders can not legally share a bedroom.

How old are your girls Weka?

they are now 7 and 9. I use reason and take things off them. Seems to work.
We were all kids and generally they are good.
I think tiredness is the parents biggest issue

You are a year ahead of us then - 6 and 8 now.
Tiredness is an issue here too, but even more often bad behavior means they need to eat. Especially my little one. Low sugar = cranky behavior.

Hi Deb, I like the top one best. Tubes are a lot of fun, did they give you a headache? I got headachy easy when I first started using them.

Then I moved towards stuff in the house ..hahah like this

The other is a small cermaic bead made by another friend .

If I'm tired, I warn Allie and she knows I'll actually start yelling sometimes if she keeps acting up. Likewise when she's being horrid, I know she's tired and I just tell her she's tired and we need to get her to bed. Low sugar is more of an issue with me than her. I HAVE to eat regularly and often or I can barely function. She can do without food for ages and it doesn't seem to affect her much.

Now they are older a different approch is taken.
In NZ they passed a law that you cannot smack your kids.

Each child is so different

You are not allowed to smack them on the bum even???

What if you have three kids and a small house?

Basically everything, lol. What ever I say she HAS to have a counter to it, and she always wants the last word. Even coming out of a time out she'll argue that she really didn't do anything wrong, blah blah blah. Another time out and she comes out with an insolent way of shaking her face in my face, without saying anything. Another time out and she'll just glare at me. I threaten her with ANOTHER time out and she starts arguing all over again that she's good and I'm bad. I've tried varying the length of the time outs, adding loss of privileges, etc. Nothing really works. And I'm not really strict about a lot of things. If she wants pizza for breakfast and yogurt for supper, I don't really care. I don't care what she wears so long as it is somewhat weather appropriate (she wore her bathrobe over her dress this morning). I just want some basic respect.

Sounds like you have a very confident young lady on your hands. It definitely doesn't help if people are always telling her how smart she is, it leads her to believe that she is equal to the adults around her.
I remember my son was like this at around the same age... I once told him he had to respect adults and he replied "why should he - they don't respect him"... ouch... can't say I really know what would help too much... other than a nice glass of red wine for you to help calm the nerves (it always works for me :confused

Looks like you have the making of a president there...

No I did'nt notice any head ache ..thank goodness ..hahaha These are not the best shots but I had mini on a lead pulling at me and trying to focus and it was windy ...so I did ok ..And they are sosososossssssssssssoo​oooooooooo Fun!

Deb work on the focus a bit and you'll be flying! I learned (from Pete) that you have to set aperture high, like at 11, to get good focus.

Got to put the boys to bed.... night all!

Nite, Jo
