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!

Ideas for golf course
For a tunnel, cut out the bottom of an
empty oatmeal box, and place the box on its side.
To make a house, turn a shoe box upside
down and cut out an entrance from one end, and the exit from the other
end.
Fold a piece of cardboard in half and
set it up like a tent for the ball to go through.
Place two or three frisbees on the floor
to form a curved fairway for the ball to go through.
Make a ramp by scoring (run one point of
the scissors in a straight line without cutting all the way through) a
piece of cardboard twice. Bend slightly at each score mark to
create a upside, flat, and downside to your ramp. Put some books
under the center section for support.
For a straight fairway, use two rows of
building blocks.
Make a sandtrap from a hula hoop.
For a pipe use paper and tape it.
Put a chair or stool in the center of
the room for the ball to go under.
