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!
You can use this recipe to make any
type of Window Decoration you want. The kids can make
snowflakes, animals, flowers, hearts, Thanksgiving, or Christmas objects. The choice is up to
them!
Materials - icing sugar, food coloring, water
Sift about 1/4 cup of icing sugar into a
small bowl. Add a few drops of water to make a
paste. It needs to be thick enough to use as paint, but
thin enough to put on the window. Add food coloring to
create different colors.
Use a paint brush to fill in large
areas. A toothpick works well for dots.
You can even tape a design to the
outside of the window if your children aren't sure what to
paint.
Clean-up: Wipe off with a warm wash cloth.
Note to parents:
If the window paint is too thin, it could slowly pull down before it
dries. Either 'paint' it back up, or use a wash cloth to clean
these areas.
