Kathy,

Yes, that sort of thing only works for kids that are younger, and now that
we are in the 21st century, that is probably shaved off a year or two.
Disciplines are a little more easy to come by when they were younger .
Partly because we were fresher as parents, and hopefully we are smarter by
the time the next comes along, yet because we have put in more time, we are
less enthused and less creative probbly too. But, shhhhh. Don't let them
know that though.
