Let me just say that I have no children so I speak with absolutely zero experience.

However, I LOVE the Super Nanny and completely agree with her methods of parenting. She has used a chore chart and does various things for rewarding children. One of her biggest things is also that children need structure, so she creates a schedule for every family. Does your family have a set schedule for dinner, chores, play, homework, etc? She has done some amazing things with some really out-of-control families. I know she has a book out now. My mom loves the show and also agrees with her methods. She loves that I watch it and really encourages my sister to watch it for future reference. Here is the link to her site: http://abc.go.com/primetime/supernanny/index.html I hope that these suggestions can help. Good luck!
