Instructions
Your Wheel is a board 7 x 10 inches in size. It comes with a set of 64 consequences on peel and stick paper. 48 are consequences relating to common mis-behaviours that most families experience in the home from time to time. It also comes with 16 rewards for when your child is especially good.
Sit down with your child and mutually agree on which consequences should be placed on the disks. (Use those provided or make up your own from a list provided on extra blank disks included) When your child mis-behaves, it's time to step up to the Wheel.
Suppose your child is guilty of leaving the lights on after leaving a room. (This was always a big one in our household. Kids have no concept of what it costs to run a household and they just take it for granted that electricity is always there and it's free.) Since you've already made it a rule that the lights are to be turned off when leaving a room, it's now time to spin the Wheel.
"We think your wheel and story are so great we've added
a link for Find-a-Therapist to your site! "
"Hello Julie,
We think your wheel and story are so great we've added a link
Notice that you're not the bad guy here. The rule of turning off the lights was agreed to by your child. And now it's the Wheel that has to be answered to. You can be impartial in the process. You can even root for your child, hoping for an easy consequence.
When you start the program you are faced with a list of themes, or mis-behaviours to choose from. In this case you would choose Leaving the Lights On. Each of the consequences is logically related to the wasting of electricity. This helps drive home the lesson. Remember, the Wheel is about teaching ...not punishing.
Just place the disk on the Wheel, snap the spinner in place, and you're ready to spin. It's that easy!
Nothing else compares to the Wheel
Sure, there are other parenting/behaviour programs out there.
Most parenting programs require that you read books or manuals, or watch videos, or maintain charts with stickers and so on. They're generally a lot of effort that work well in theory but poorly in practice.
Just too much effort to keep up.
The reason the Better behaviour Wheel is so effective is because:
It's simple -- Once it's set up it only requires one thing. A spin of the wheel.
Your child helps set it up. This is really important because once your child has been invited to participate in choosing the consequences, he/she will have an investment in the process.
Goodbye to Anger
No matter how much we love them, we sometimes get furious at our kids' behaviour and at our own inability to deal with the situation in an effective manner.
Get ready for a surprising discovery the next time you find yourself in this situation. Join the thousands of others who have discovered that spinning is a lot more fun -- and effective -- than getting angry.
" I can already tell you he's working on his behaviour
and it's not even here yet!"
"I am looking very forward to receiving the Wheel. My son is 7 1/2 and we're working on his behaviour. I've shown him the wheel on the computer and explained how it works.
I'll give more feedback after I receive the wheel, but I can already tell you he's working on his behaviour and it's not even here yet! :o) I've told him that each time he talks back, he will spin the wheel, no warnings. And if he has to spin it twice in one day for the same thing, then he'll get both consequences. So he's already working on it in anticipation.
This is a fabulous idea! I am a school teacher who teaches sixth grade. This would be great for the classroom as well. I love the idea and think it will help my overall classroom management. My friend is anxious to see my wheel when it comes and will probably be ordering one as well. Thanks!"

Have You Spanked Your Child Today???
Child spanking is commonplace in the U.S. Did you know that two thirds of U. S. mothers
of children under 6 spank them at least three
times a week? Often it's because they just
don't know what else to do.
Whatever side of the spanking debate you're on, with the Wheel you will find that child spanking is just not necessary. Sure, you could add a spanking consequence to the Wheel, but why would you want to?
With the Better behaviour Wheel you get an
upbeat, fun, and totally unique parenting tool
for managing your behaviour challenged kids...
without spanking!
