although mine are only 7 and 10, and they never had any form of structure or discipline until me. We tried meds, timeouts, take there stuff away etc... nothing worked, I even went as so far as to use physical restraints(had too) these were your classic wild children in every sense of the word.. And did nothing except WANT and GIVE me.
UNTIL! I took THERE time. simply this: if they don't clean I take away prime-time things, and have them just sit or have them do there homework nothing else. for the time they wasted having me remind them to do there responsibilities. not cleaning there room 1/2 hour, no bath 1/2 hour etc..and I let it build to 2 hour and them enforce it constantly, period and without comment...sort of a modified TIME OUT.
you wast my time, I'll waste yours.
Medication didn't help them
Yelling didn't help.
taking stuff away didn't help
taking away TIME precious TIME worked like magic, after the second or third enforcement, they little guys got the concept and POW....they are almost normal and behaved young children.
TEEN timeouts?
