The only thing I have found that works is to not make empty threats. If you say no t.v. , then it is no t.v. until said time....no matter what is coming on or how much YOU want to give in.

Once you set & stick to the boundaries/punishments, they'll know you mean business.

It took my DD longer to catch on to this than the two DS - of course they are younger so maybe they learned by watching me follow through with DD.
