Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

one of mac's standard response to getting in trouble is hitting himself (ridiculously common for the kids from ETH) - he started in on that I gave one warning that if it did not stop, he would lose a visit with uncle, tv for a week and maybe swimming. I am upping punishment for that particularly because it is so awful.

Yikes. Any idea why it's so common in kids from ETH?

Oh man. Days like that with kids....

My brother tends to need to use earning-a-priv/thing because D can and will laugh in the face of negative consequence. And then carry a sulk forever. Hmmm, wonder where he got those traits from??

Poison? Skee-Lo? Digital Underground?

I thought he was a little older than Em. Does it work for your brother? I wonder when that switch from taking away _____ to earning _______ works best?
