Age group(s) for which this technique is helpful:
Preschool and Younger
Elementary School
Middle School

Primarily used to improve behavior:
At Home

Instructions for using this technique:
The wheel comes with several blank disks and 64 different consequences and rewards, all on peel-and-stick paper. Sit down with your child and mutually agree on which consequences should be placed on the disks. Use those provided or make up your own. When your child misbehaves, it's time to step up to the Wheel. Wherever the spinner lands is the consequence that must be followed.

Other information parents should consider before using this technique:
The Wheel is designed to deal with behavior problems that are common to all households. Every parent should work with their child's personality and decide if the wheel is right for them, keeping in mind that every program doesn't work with every child.
