@bratbustersparenting: As a parent, times are your best friend. For example, if your kid has a consequence like sweeping the kitchen floor within 15 minutes of being asked to do so, you set a timer. You always start the timer, and then you say nothing. You’re not micromanaging the time. You're just a timekeeper. As soon as that 15 minutes is up and they haven't done it, then you would go to the backup consequence. When you say something as a parent, like a time frame, it’s crucial you follow through. When you say 15 minutes, it has to be 15 minutes, it can't be 15 and a half, it can't be 16. So that's why timers are so important, it keeps them accountable.
