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!
Children love making gifts for their parents and other adults who
are important to them. But what can they make that will delight the
person they are giving the gift to?
Here's how you can quickly and easily get lots of simple, high quality
gift ideas that you children can make. Guaranteed to be fun the
children making the gift, and a delight for the person receiving it.
dish detergent
food coloring
flat container (white or clear is best)
straws
oil (optional)
Instructions:
Find a container with a large, flat bottom. A glass, oblong
baking dish works great.
Squirt some dish detergent in the bottom of the pan in some sort of
zig zag or S figure. About a teaspoon is plenty.
Let the children put a few drops of food coloring in the bottom of the
dish.
Add a teaspoon of water.
Use the straw to blow bubbles and move the food coloring around.
After this first creation, wash the dish, and start again with about a
cup of water in the bottom. Then add the dish detergent and about the
same amount of oil. Add drops of food coloring and see what happens.
Hints
Start with two colors or it will turn muddy fairly quickly.
Adding the water makes it easier to blow the bubbles.
Use the straw to move the food coloring to blend and create
colors. The children can experiment to learn that red and yellow
make orange.
Use drops of oil to add a different look to the creation. Oil
and water don't mix, separating the colors.
Food coloring won't dissolve in oil, so it can create a barrier
between different sections of color.
Use a spoon to draw lines and patterns in the color.
When your child is all done, just take it over the to the sink to wash
up. The soap is already in the mixture so it washes up easily.
