Nothing else compares to the Wheel
Sure, there are other parenting/behavior programs out there.
Most parenting programs require that you read books or manuals, or watch videos, or maintain charts with stickers and so on. They're generally a lot of effort that work well in theory but poorly in practice.
Just too much effort to keep up.
The reason the Better Behavior Wheel is so effective is because:
It's simple -- Once it's set up it only requires one thing. A spin of the wheel.
Your child helps set it up. This is really important because once your child has been invited to participate in choosing the consequences, he/she will have an investment in the process.
Goodbye to Anger
No matter how much we love them, we sometimes get furious at our kids' behavior and at our own inability to deal with the situation in an effective manner.
Get ready for a surprising discovery the next time you find yourself in this situation. Join the thousands of others who have discovered that spinning is a lot more fun -- and effective -- than getting angry.
" I can already tell you he's working on his behavior
and it's not even here yet!"
"I am looking very forward to receiving the Wheel. My son is 7 1/2 and we're working on his behavior. I've shown him the wheel on the computer and explained how it works.
I'll give more feedback after I receive the wheel, but I can already tell you he's working on his behavior and it's not even here yet! :o) I've told him that each time he talks back, he will spin the wheel, no warnings. And if he has to spin it twice in one day for the same thing, then he'll get both consequences. So he's already working on it in anticipation.
This is a fabulous idea! I am a school teacher who teaches sixth grade. This would be great for the classroom as well. I love the idea and think it will help my overall classroom management. My friend is anxious to see my wheel when it comes and will probably be ordering one as well. Thanks!"

Have You Spanked Your Child Today???
Child spanking is commonplace in the U.S. Did you know that two thirds of U. S. mothers
of children under 6 spank them at least three
times a week? Often it's because they just
don't know what else to do.
Whatever side of the spanking debate you're on, with the Wheel you will find that child spanking is just not necessary. Sure, you could add a spanking consequence to the Wheel, but why would you want to?
With the Better Behavior Wheel you get an
upbeat, fun, and totally unique parenting tool
for managing your behavior challenged kids...
without spanking!

Your Job as a Parent Becomes Easier
 |
No longer
will you have to rack your brain trying to think up appropriate consequences for your child's behavior. |
|
No longer will child behavior modification become an us against them issue where you are looked upon as the enemy. The wheel becomes your impartial judge and jury, making your job as a better parent that much easier. |
|
No more disagreements between mom and dad over what to do. (Kids can really exploit that one.) With the Wheel, both of you are now on the same page. |
|
Kids need to know that parents are fair. It's easy with the Better Behavior Wheel. You get their input when you select the consequences to place on the wheel. |
|
Consistency is critical. Kids also need to know that inappropriate behavior will always result in remedial action. The Wheel makes this very easy for you. |
|
Use positive reinforcement!
The Wheel also comes with a disk of rewards for when your child is especially good.
This is important, especially for the younger kids.
It's Not for Everyone
While the Wheel has helped over 10,000 grateful parents in the past two and a half years, in the interest of balance we have to admit that it might not be what everyone's looking for. While we don't agree with Mr. Wallen's comments (see below), there might be some who view the Wheel as a tool for punishment. This has never been our intent, and if that's what you're looking for we hope you'll give our product a pass.

To whom it may concern,
Punishment and aversive consequences are the source of much anxiety,
coercion, and countercontrol engendered in those whose repertoires are
consistently suppressed by punishing consequences. Much psychopathology
owes to the use of capricious consequences not functionally related to the
behavior that produced them. You are unfortunately suffering from the
reinforcing effects of being the punisher; you terminate the aversive
actions of children making YOUR world more stress free. The effects on
children are much less predictable depending on a wide range of
developmental and experiential factors. You have done a HUGE disservice to
the cause of teaching educative parenting skills that focus on relationship
development and positive support.
In a culture dominated by quick fixes and zero tolerance attitudes, you are
a card -carrying member and could be censored, as well as charged with
practicing psychology without a license. That you recommend this to single
mothers, foster parents, parents of children receiving assistance,
grandparents raising grandchildren is horrendous. As if these poorly
prepared and/or supported parents don't already use and misuse punishment in
the control of their children. It is the first thing untrained,
unsophisticated individuals do, often abusively. You are a fool.

While the Wheel is great for dealing with common child behavior problems that most parents experience on a regular basis, we're not going to insult your intelligence by claiming that it will solve all situations. If your child is exhibiting disturbing behavior that may stem from deep seated psychological issues, we strongly advise seeking professional help.
The Wheel is also most effective for kids aged from 4 to mid-teens.
If you want to use it with a younger child we'd suggest that you utilize the rewards disk (Wheel of Just Desserts) much more often than the consequences.
The Wheel is about child behavior modification, not punishment.

"Your Wheel, I believe, will be an answer to my prayers."
I have just finished reading all the information on your web page & I had to thank you for coming up with this product.
I am a mother of twin nine year old boys with ADHD. I have gone through the Parenting With Love & Logic seminar which was terrific, however I was unable to follow through with consequences at times or because I was so beaten down with their button pushing that I gave in to anger/frustration and handed down an "over-kill" sentence and so becoming less effective & consistant as a parent.
Your Wheel, I believe, will be an answer to my prayers. Many, Many Thanks In Advance. If you need a distributer in Texas let me know.
