Speak softly and carry a big stick

As parents we should follow through with our words. How many times have you heard a parent threaten a child and not follow through. Here's an idea... don't threaten with "I'm going to throw away all your toys." and then it doesn't happen. If you say something, follow through. No threats. There should be a single warning and if they fail to heed, take action. Your children will learn to listen the first time. And they will know you mean business.

Happy Thanksgiving!
