How can i get my sisters kids to listen to me?
Answer:
Do you listen to them or you only make them follow orders?
Buy "Positive Discipline for Preschoolers" by Jane Nelson and learn about it.There is a site - http://positivediscipline.com/ - see what can you learn from here.
Give them a some biscuits and they will but l don't know they age so if l am wrong sorry.
show them your boss :D
Your sister is the one who should tell them that you're their "boss" -- or whatever you and she are calling the one in charge -- when they are in your care. Then punishment or disciplinary guidelines should be discussed between you two in the presence of the children, so that they will understand that their unruliness will have specific consequences.
Yelling, threatening and other uncarried out discipline actions tell a child, or teen, tell a child to ignore the emptiness of your authority.
Sequence of steps to take:
Sit down and make a list of all things you want the children to stop doing. Show it to your sister BEFORE a plan is discussed in front of the children. That way you call a joint meeting ready to go into action.
Children are smarter than most people give them credit for. Keep the joint meeting serious and don't hesitate to follow through on pre-determined disciplinary actions. Failure to do so will give them the idea that you don't mean anything you say.
take them out to play basketball or baseball, they will have fun and want to play again, so they may listen then.
I had to watch my sister's kids for a week last year, and I swore that they were the children of the Korn. They were awful. The two year old would bite and pitch fits that lasted for 45 minutes to an hour EACH. The six year old was a spoiled brat, and would say things like, "You're not my mommy. You can't tell me to do anything."
O-KAY. It took me two days to catch on, because I never had to go through this with my kids. I could SPANK MY kids. I obviously cannot spank kids who are not my own. My sister has a spank-free house, and I respect that decision, although that's not the one that we have chosen.
The two year old, when she started pitching fits, got to go into the kitchen ALL BY HERSELF. When she bit, she got her desserts taken away from her. The six year old got to get toys taken away from her, and I would NOT give them back until the end of the day. She would beg and cry, and I would tell her that things get taken away when you're rude to other people. The two year olds tears, after not having an audience, would subside within about ten minutes.
I'll be honest, though, if your sister's kids are worse than MY sister's kids, I'll be very surprised.
