My suggestion to you, is very easy. Just stop buying anything for your kids. Tell them that they don't get anything unless they work hard and behave. It is actually all up to you, the mommy, to stay firm.

Haiz,

If only it was so easy for ya little 6 years old boy. I had tried grounding him, not buying anything he wants, keeping all his favourite toys etc....
It just dont work...

All i get at the end of the day is my wife nagging at him to do this to do that (ie study, bathing, sleeping). For him to do an action will takes 10 good nagging before moving. It just as we are not there in his present.

Frankly, i am really clueless in guiding him and teaching him now.
Everyday is a nightmare to me. It like teaching a \"cow\" to behave....

GOSH....
