Long story short I have 4 year old twins that are VERY much stuck in their ways! They started a few weeks ago. They still don't listen to me. I'll tell them not to jump on the couch, they jump on the couch again. I sit them in time out and they are doing whatever they went to time out for in the first place again! The girl will watch all the toys and literally as soon as someone turns their back on something she swoops in and takes it! If they get off a bike to look at a bug. She's right there to take that bike, even though she already had a bike she was riding. They get in trouble and they just look at me and smirk.
I am at a complete loss what to do. My kids end up going inside (afternoons are for outside until pick up) just to get away, and I wish I was going with them. I've tried the reward and chart system and it isn't working. They'll get excited about getting the sticker but they have to be little achievements, like lunch time is quiet time, or clean up time ( those are the only stickers we get through the day) they have never gotten the please and thank you sticker or the listening sticker because those are all day ones.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance
