You just give them a list of chores to do and if they whine or throw a tantrum..........you punish them...................and then give them even more chores to do. Sooner or later they will stop their bad behavior.

Consider trying to set a good example for them to follow. Make it a point to show them you do things you don't want to do each time you do. Then explain why you do so. You may have to do so over and over because children learn by repetition.

By making it clear to the child or children that there is a specific time limit for each task, and that there will be penalties for non-compliance. The penalties should fit the nature of the offense, and they should NOT BE physically PAINFUL. Inflicting pain does NOTHING to change behavior, and in fact, it can make bad behavior WORSE.
Once time limits for chores have been set, follow through when infractions occur.

Read the parenting books! Especially perhaps “How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk” by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
