I don't mean teenage discipline is simple by no means. There are ways to deal with teenagers in a more calm way.
A Dyfus social worker visited a person I know and don't want to put her name on a Blog. I thought it was fantastic information.
This information can probably be used for 8-18 years of age depending on how well they process information.
When you want your child to say clean, do their homework or whatever chores you have for them, WRITE THEM DOWN.
That might sound simple but it works.

are just telling them, you don't have to do this if you aggravate me enough and I will let you do what you want anyway.

Stress ages us; laughing and smiling turns back time.
