Weekly Question

Dear Zoey,
What if you were babysitting a kid who doesn't seem to have ANY respect for authority and just think they can do whatever they want? For me, as I have been raised almost completely the opposite, it would be very difficult. What are your ideas on relieving some of the "tension"?
Sincerely,
A fellow babysitter

Dear A Fellow Babysitter,
If the child has no respect for you or anything, put them in timeout for 5-10 minutes and afterwards, explain to them that they need to know that you're in charge and they will have a good time with you if they listen.
Sincerely,
Zoey
