When holiday my home got so many kids, they like to run around and playing like crazy. Sometimes i feel a bit annoying with their characters beside so noisy, more i try to scold or ask them to behave, more they act like crazy or laugh at me. Is there other way to make them listen us ? How to trick them :3 so they can be good boy good girl.

They are probably bored and bored children get into trouble. Try doing some kind of arts and crafts. Most kids love to color, cut paper and glue.

Well, i don't have children yet, but what my mom did when we were little was scold us too. But for me, i think it is better to have a talk or give them rewards when they behave. Punishment will make them rebel more i think.

@etavasi haha, but then they may have tooth decays. I agree with others' responses though, they may just be bored. Maybe find out what they are interested in : movies, books or games.

Teach them you mean business! If you tell them not to do something, you have to follow through with what you say. If you let them get away with not listening to you, they will keep doing it. No has to mean no. Have a little prize box like they do in school - only the ones who listen can have a prize from the prize box!!

@etavasi Idea ?!! Idea is what I have been looking for.They say,make things interesting,but don't tell how.As a teacher in a middle school two years back I had to face kids in my classes.Nothing worked for them.They were too recalcitrant to be disciplined.

Try to attract their mind with something special, something special for them. Then suggest them to behave like good boys and girls staying away from craziness. You may give them chocolate who listen to you. You may attract them otherwise, it's up to you.

Disciplining a child is never easy. Try not to get frustrated when your child does not behave. Instead give them lots of love and affection. My kids also does not behaving that way before. When they starting to chasing each other and being so noisy i'll give them something to make them busy such as coloring books or modelling clay. I'll give them directions of what they should do and who's gonna finish first i'll give a reward and they enjoyed this a lot. Also don't forget to hug, kiss and say i love you to them they will appreciated it

Give them an incentive so they will listen to you . It doesn't have to be a big one . Maybe a small chocolate will do.

1. Tell them you have goodies for them, but they have to earn it. 2. As you tell them how to earn it, say what you need them to know. 3. Test them after you have told them. Those who can answer correctly, give them the rewards. It need not be a big reward. Perhaps a candy. 4. Now that they have listened to you, now it's your turn to listen to them. Hear their joy of laughter and shouts of excitement. 5. Let them be, they'll love you for it. Then next time, they know you are the kind of adult who knows when to talk and when to keep quiet with them. Hope it helps. I am quite sure it will.

When there are so many kids get them to do some interesting group activity or play games to keep them busy. Holidays and indiscipline go together. Children get a little out of hand when they have lots of time and nothing to do.
