Experience the Thrill of Well Behaved Kids Overnight with this One-Of-A-Kind, Powerful New Parenting Tool

Better Behavior gives families discipline creative options without spanking. When your child misbehaves, spin the wheel and he or she is required to follow whatever consequence the arrow stops on. Your child participates in choosing the consequences, so he or she will have an investment in the process and be much more willing to give the Wheel a spin when the time comes.

Just having the Wheel in your home can change the atmosphere overnight. It's guaranteed! Conflict resolution becomes much easier to deal with. Families who use the Wheel report dramatic changes in their households. Homework gets done, clothes get picked up, arguing stops...in short, the Wheel produces great kids and a stress free environment! The mere presence of the Wheel will have a marked effect on your kids. Chances are, you'll seldom even have to spin it!

1. Cut paper into strips about 1/2" wide and 8 inches long.  
   
   
2. Take one paper strip and tie a knot close to one end of the strip (diagram 1). Flatten the knot into a five-sided shape (a pentagon). 
   
   
3. Tuck the short end into the knot (diagram 2). You might have to cut it a bit shorter so that it fits completely into the knot. 
   
   
4. Fold the long strip over the pentagon creating more layers (diagram 3). Keep folding until the strip is too short to fold over another time. Tuck the end into a knot.
   
   
5. Gently pinch up two sides of one point with the thumb and first finger of one hand, while pushing down with the first finger of the other hand, inside the point (picture A). 
   
   
6. Work your way around each of the five points. You may need to do it a second time to get a true star shape.
