So you have kids who like to bite,hit ,swear like tropers well here is some advice for you:
KIDS THAT BITE: used a sharp voice and tell them " no,stop bitting " then move the child away from you for older kids use the same tone of voice but
move your child to a time out coner.not the bedroom as that is only for going to bed ,if you use the bedrrom as a punishment rrom you will have problems getting them to bed .you cna use a corner in the corridor ,loungerrom where they cannot see a tv or kitchen and if you live in a small apartment turn tv and noise off and sit them in any corner away from toys and walk away from them ,ignore them dont worry about the noise they make just tell them unless htey bahve they will stay there .
SWEARING : rule number 1 dont swear in front of your kids unless your prepared for the to do the same .if your like me who cant help swearing and has a dark toungue then use my trick which works as my olderst son is 11 and he does not swear not even when he hits himself and that goes for all my kids ...when they say a swear word dont tell them off pretend like the word has no meaning,if children see a reaction then they know if they say a bad word they will get attention,if you are against sweraing and very strict then maybe when your child uses a bad word put them int ehir bedroom for time out and tel them that if they want to use that colourful language then they can go and read a book and miss out in all the fun.you can also take something they like away from them ,such a dvd ,video,game ect.
TANTRUMS: dont over react because attenton is what they want dont worry about other peoples reaction you will look like a worst parent if you smack them or yell at them ,simply tell them what they are doing is not on ,and just turn your back while they do their tamntrums if they r to loud like most kids r then take them out , look ur child in the eyes and tell your child that until they stop you will not move and that there will be no treat. purchase a treat like a chocolate or toy and tell your child as soon as you finish the shopping she/he will get his present .praise any good behaviour,most tantrums happen out of boredom so have your child help you,like getting items for you to put into the trolley,if your child is to young to do that play games with them such as :" i spy,or have a list of item your going to purchase with pictures of them and they can point them out when they see them "etc
SIBLING FIGHTING : dont be a referee,if they r not hitting each other let them fight between themselfs.never decide who is beter as that will make the child who u think is worst that the other have bad feelings towards their sibling .give them a chance to work it out ,if sharing is the problem,then take the item away and tell both children once they learn to share then you will give it back.if our kids fight in the car then have something that can keep them occupied such as a son ,a game or a portable dvd player with their favourite movie if they dont stop fighting then tell your children no one is moving until you hear silence ,because children fighting while your driving is very dangerous .if fighting happens allot in public and bad behaviour be prepared in advence .
KIDS WHO REFUSE TO EAT: try the aeroplane trick,when your kids eats well make a big deal,when serving the meal tell them how yum it is and when your eating your make yummy noises,if your child wont touch their meal tell them once to eat if they still dont do it tell them only once" if you havent eten by the time i finish eating mine i will take your plate form you and you will go hungry to bed " if you child still dont at stay put take their plate from them as you said,dont give in kids wont die if they do hungry over night ,as long as they have milk and water they r fine if afcourse after 24 hours they still refuse to eat then go to the doctor or nurse for advise .or a chemist they have some nice medication that makes kids hungry lol.
