Wheel of Better Behavior for children
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!

 

Archeology Game

  1. Assemble five or six old clay flower pots and decorate them on the outside with either magic marker or paint. Try to make each design distinctive.
  2. Place all the pots into a large paper bag or old pillow case and close the top.
  3. With a hammer, gently bang on the pots inside the bag until they are all broken into pieces.
  4. Shake the bag several times and dump out half the pieces.
  5. Using white glue, try to reassemble as many of the original pots as you can.

Variation

  • You can make this game more difficult by having one person do the first 4 steps.  Then the kids can try to reconstruct the pots they've never even seen.  Have an extra pot available in case you need to show them the shape of the finished pots.
  • For a real puzzle, use different shaped vases!

This idea comes from the Newton's Apple website.

Looking for gift ideas for someone who is fascinated by Ancient Egypt.
