Description of discipline technique:
Determine your own set of "house rules" and stick to them. "If you don't clean your room, you can't have your friends over" or "you can't have any ice cream tonight because you did not eat enough of your dinner" and "If you don't finish your homework now, you won't be allowed to watch your favorite TV show later." Rules are rules and there is no room for negotiation. The hardest part is sticking to them.

Appropriate age group(s):
Six and up.
