      ***Monitoring Behavior***

      Next, it is imperative that as a parent you monitor the behavior of your children. Every day you need to make an assessment of what your child is doing and how they are acting. Are they disrespectful? Are they constantly arguing with their siblings? If yes, then maybe it is time for a meeting to resolve these issues. Also, help your child to clean her room by checking it every other day. Ask your child if she needs help in any area in order to prevent out of control behavior.

      ***Consequences***

      Finally, out of control children need to learn that there are severe consequences to their behavior. Ban your child from watching television for 30 days if she misbehaves.
