Question
We are in the process of resetting a slew of bad behaviors (sibling conflict, avoiding responsibility are currently the focus). I'm seeing an increase in defiance/disobedience, both directly and with the babysitter/nanny (taking liberties with long standing rules). How should I address this with four boys (ages 11, 9, 6 & 5) who are homeschooled, share a bedroom, and have obligations (periodically occupying the 2.5yo & 1yo, ranch chores, etc )? I guess I'm asking, how do I punish them? Ha!
