Parenting Help, Please??

.
.
Two things I've caught myself saying to a child in the past week, out of pure desperation-
.
"Do you want to be restricted from your Proactive?"
.
And...
.
"Why do you have to act so..... twelve?! Do you want me to show you what a 40 year old acts like?!"
.
I don't even know what the latter means.
.
I think I just need to face the facts- my kids are in definite need of an Attitude Adjuster. I've yet to purchase one of those so I am asking parents to help me. What kind of Attitude Adjuster have you invested in? Do they work? Do you have a favorite?
.
I'm kinda leaning toward this one....





But this one is similar and costs about the same.

A friend recommended this Attitude Adjuster.

And I've heard this one works.

.
Listen, call me Open and Desperate. I am all ears and anxious to hear what is working for you.

My mom really likes the Love and Logic series. Personally, I want a cattle prod for faster results...

Hee hee hee. I lub this. Sorry.

Hmmmm . . . my advice comes from Ceasar, the Dog Whisperer.

Calm Assertive Energy. Not hostile, just assertive. It's a hard one to pull off even with dogs, so gooood luck with a teenager.

P.S. Zoe would never do that.
