When wanting a child to do something [example: pick up your toys]......if your first responce was not obeyed. Give the child a choice: you pick it up now or I will put it away for a week. Or....pick it up now, or you will get spanked, not get to watch TV, use Phone or something similar. The child has to decide what to do.

A lot of children [young adults ?] have not been taught that it takes hard work and respect of others to "earn" the things that they want to have.

OK...enough for now.
