How do you handle insubordination in kids?

Hi money savers, I'd love to know how you deal with your kids. I mean, how you get them to do this they wouldn't want to do without yelling at them. Thank you.

One thing not mentioned is parents modelling the behaviour they want the children to grow into - having the children see parents notice and thank each other, as well as the kids, for housework etc done. The parents respond politely and positively when they ask each other to do something - maybe even conspiring to ask each other to do things they were going to do anyway.

I did actually mention modelling on page 1!

Been around since 2008 but somehow my profile was deleted!!!
