Question
I have twin 6-year old boys and an 8-year old boy. I've just read your book "The Well Behaved Child" and recently attended your "Love and Leadership" Seminar when you were in St. Louis.
I've recently implemented the weekly chart (for 2 of my boys) and I have one of the twins on the daily chart for school. I'm having trouble getting them to stay in there room when they make it to #6. Earlier this week, I calmly said, "you must like your room because you are choosing to stay in it" and he looked at me confused. I said, "whenever you come out then you are choosing to spend tomorrow in your room as well". And the next day he goes automatically to his room (even though he may have had an excellent day at school). Do you think this is a good solution? Do you have another?
Also, we have sports practice 4 out of the 5 days of the school week. They do have some time in their room before we leave, but it's not always possible to have the 6:30 bedtime. Do you have any suggestions on what to do when it's not possible to get to bed by 6:30 pm?
Thanks!
