One way of getting more cooperation from the kids is presented here.  Children today seem to have this incredible sense of entitlement and rarely seem to be thankful for all that we provide for them. That's because they don't easily understand the difference between what we must do for them and the things we want to do for them, but aren't required.  In this podcast, Bill offers one activity to a group of parents that they can do with their children to help them see the difference between the two. He presents it in a fun and playful way and also offers some alternatives to saying "NO" when NO doesn't seem to work.

Creating Cooperative Kids is a podcast series that helps parents "retool" their discipline toolbox for today's challenging child. Parent educator and professional speaker, Bill Corbett, provides audio clips for helping parents with step-by-step methods for creating cooperative kids at home and in the classroom.
