Free Printable 10 Commandments book
Simple print the book off by clicking the link..then on the right side of the site youll see a download link..click to download when the box pops up asking what to do with it you need to click "OPEN" once it is opened then print it off, let your kids color it then cut it out and tape or staple it, staples work a lot better but bad if little ones get a hold of them. That's up to you what you use (-=

Our discipline summed up
You must have persistence. And an ABSOLUTE refusal to do the work for her.
One thing we parents tend to screw up, is thinking that consequences have to be painful (of heart or physical body). But the truth is, a good consequence is one that is **inconvenient** and that **naturally relates** to the offence.
This is because both inconvenient and natural/relatable consequences will be remembered the next time they are in the same situation. Inconvenience works because we are creatures who strive for the path of least resistance and don't like to be inconvenienced. Natural consequences work because when our consequence directly relates to the offence, the child can easily make the connection between cause and effect. EXAMPLE: Taking a toy away from a child who misbehaved in the grocery store does nothing for changing that child's behavior -- there was no direct correlation between cause and effect and they were left feeling punished for being a failure. Instead, a natural consequence would be that when they misbehave in the grocery store, Mom puts back their favorite snack that they were going to get that week. The consequence is closely linked to the ACTUAL point of offence (the grocery store) so the child will surely remember it the next time you're in the store and they're hoping for their favorite snack to end up in the cart!
So anyway -- what about some practical examples of this for your situation?
In this case, every time you find the toilet unflushed, you can provide her with both an INCONVENIENT consequence and a RELATABLE consequence -- and you need to REFUSE to do the work for her! These next few steps might take a lot of time for you to implement, but it will only happen a few times and she'll be trained. It pays off in the long run!
1. Make her stop whatever she's doing to come back into the bathroom. (Inconvenient consequence)
2. Have her flush the toilet. (Inconvenient consequence)
3. Explain to her that since her waste wasn't flushed immediately, she now needs to use the toilet brush to clean the bowl. (Relatable consequence)
4. Once that's all done, explain that she needs to wash her hands (even if she just did a few minutes prior) because she has touched the toilet again. (Inconvenient consequence)

insurance back and will be getting more scans! I am praying
hard that I don’t have cancer, but if i do that God give me
the strength to fight it again and get rid of it for good! I love
my mother she is my best friend and i will always be a
daddys girl! My oldest daughter is Elysia she is 6 but she
thinks she is 18 (= She is our drama queen and very picky.
She is in kindergarten and this summer we will be working
on manners! She is a very good reader! Shanna is our

never know what she is going to say or do, she will be 6 in
July. She is doing homeschool kindergarten. She is great at
fractions and she is doing GREAT at learning about habitats
and continents! This summer she will be working on her
social skills and daily living skills. LaBelle is our 4 year old,
