Hi i'm only 17, and i understand where Nichelle is coming from, i'm a babysitter of a child who is autistic, and another child who has anger management and a few kids who are A.D.D or A.D.H.D, and it's hard to even watch them for a couple of hours let alone 24/7. Eventually i want to have kids myself, but first i am going to make sure i can take care of them, and make sure i raise them to be polite, and good children, i understand that it's not your fault Nichelle, that your children act the way they do, some kids get it from their friends, or other adults, but I do have an idea, that i have done with the children in the past which i got from Nanny 911, and that is to make a chart, and every time your child(ren) listen to you and do what you ask, then you give them a sticker and make a goal that your child will understand he or she will have to reach, example at the end of the week maybe you want your child to have 10 stickers, and if your child has 10 or more stickers, you can give them a chocolate bar, or candy even a little toy possibly from the dollar store, children at a younger age like yours will probably be happy with anything, and you should tell your child you are very happy with their habits, and listening during the week! Kids will feel happy if you tell them you are very happy with them!
