The Kid Whisperer: How to have a pleasant visit with your kids at a relative’s home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do my 4- and 6-year-old insist on being on their absolute worst behavior when we go to visit family? We live several hours away from most of our family members, so we don't have time to visit very often. I want to be able to enjoy the time with my relatives â but my kids make it impossible as they are just all over the place and don't listen to a word I say. I can't just take them home and try again the next day. What do I do? Answer: Your kids are doing this because theyâre little veloc
The Kid Whisperer: How to have students manage their own classroom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve read your book, and I have a question about student jobs. Is it a bad idea to make sure every student has some kind of job?

The Kid Whisperer: How to remain calm and in charge at home and at school (opens the original)
Read excerpt

And this behavior has multiplied in one of my class periods to the point that it puts a stop to all instruction almost every day. I call it strategic arguing. I have four students in my fifth period class who have realized that they can stop me from teaching if they argue with me. I can see it in their eyes; theyâre messing with me. What do I do? I have to teach, and I donât want to be messed
The Kid Whisperer: How to deal with a kid who won’t take ‘no’ for an answer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a nagging 5-year-old who wonât take ânoâ for an answer. I have done my best to turn off my brain and repeat the same line over and over, but I think itâs time for a consequence since he keeps nagging me and wonât stop. Iâm just not sure what the consequence should be. Any suggestions? Answer: Great work using excellent interventions, and great work realizing that if the interventions donât get you what you want (a kid who doesnât nag at you all day long) you should proceed
