  1. Don’t Assume
    Resist the urge to assume that what works for one of your children will work for another. As any parent of more than one child will likely tell you, each one is him or herself and each will test your mettle in a unique way. Time-outs may be greatly effective with one child, while the other will need breaks to be called something different, or may need you to stay with them while they calm down. Be flexible about trying different approaches with different kids.
