Like on sleeping, discipline, and general parenting thoughts?

I have a 1 1/2 yr old step-son who was born 3 months preemie and is developmentally handicapped. Plus I am expecting another.

What do you think about this idea for discipline/rewards in parenting?

Just ME!!;) asked:


Have two “wheels” to spin (like on wheel of fortune except smaller of course lol). One wheel is full of forms of punishments, ie: lose tv for a night, lose cell phone, spanking, time out, etc… Another wheel is full of forms of reward, ie: receive a small amount of money, get a toy from the store, a new game, or even a “get out of one punishment free card…lol

When he does something good, he gets to spin the “reward wheel”… when he does something naughty, he has to spin the “punishment wheel”…

I know it’s kind of a strange way of doing it, but I’m always looking for creative ideas because my little boy is a mess!!!:) I love that turd, but he is TOUGH to parent!:) Thanks for any input!:)

I am looking to attend a “refresher” parenting class for my 8 day old newborn (my second child, his first) in the central NJ location. I would perfer to attend the class in person, but if anyone knows information about online classes I would appreciate that too. I want to know if online classes offer a certificate of completion. (He and I live in separately so I want to be sure he finishes the class)
I’d appreciate any information you could give. Thanks!
