how to discipline kids who have bad attitude/untidy/do not listen?

if your kids talk back/are untidy and cannot be told to do any chore or take responsibility (and they are between 6 and 10) how would you choose to discipline them?

i would maybe say if you dont do your chores, you wont get to play on the Playstation or Xbox or i'll take your phone off you until you start speaking nicely to me. i dont know if that would work though. good luck!!

Tell them you'll ring social services? Smacked bottoms and sent to bed without supper?

As this isn't Mumsnet, it won't implode by saying this.

Thanks...I have to admit they are hypothetical kids

do all kids get playstation/xbox/devices to confiscate? (I was thinking aged 6 - 10 they would not get these things)

maybe not one each. like when I was like 10 or 11 me and my family shared an Xbox. I guess it would pressurize the kids to behave as their bad behaviour would affect their siblings?

basically you're saying use carrot and stick, if it's too boring at home you'll have no hold over them at all, xbox = carrot and smacking = stick

there are some issues with kids being addicted to games and stuff...quite tricky to deal with probably! apparently they get violent in their teens (some of them due to their addictions)

Turn off the WiFi.

Limit the amount of time they can play Fortnite to once a fortnight.

No. But there can always be consequences. If you bring your kids up to know where the boundaries lie, if they push the boundaries they know if they have done wrong. In this case social isolation (go to your room) before apologies and forgiveness is usually enough.

Goodness only knows where the idea that snacking kids was effective came from. There really is no need.

I remember back when I was little my friend snapped at her mum so her mum told her she's going straight to bed without dinner as soon as they get home. I was horrified 😂
