Observation
Nyketa: "Come on boys. Time to get up for school."

Mikey: "Noooo....."

Nyketa: "Mikey, up now!"

Mikey: "NO!!! I HATE SCHOOL!"

Jo: "And it wasn't long before Nyketa raised her voice."

Nyketa: "WHEN I SAY GET UP MIKEY, I MEAN GET UP! GO TO SCHOOL AND HAVE FUN!!!"

Mikey: "Go kill yourself..."

Nyketa: "Your behavior is really disappointing me. GET UP NOW!!!"

[Nyketa drags Mikey out of bed]

Jo: "Then all of a sudden, Mikey punches Mom in the face!"

Nyketa: "No, sir! You may not punch mommy! Now get yourself dressed."

Naughty Bench Technique
"Jo: Mom wanted Tyrese to clean up the table, but he chose to be defiant about it."

Nyketa: "Tyrese! Clean the table!"

Tyrese: "Why the (bleep) should I?!"

Nyketa: "Excuse me? I don't appreciate that sort of language. Just clean the table!"

Jo: "But Mom didn't give him a warning. Instead, she shouted back at Tyrese."

Tyrese: "You made the mess on the table, you filthy (bleep)! You clean it up!"

Nyketa: "TYRESE JAMES WINTERS!!! THAT LANGUAGE WON'T BE TOLERATED!!!"

Tyrese: "EAT MY SHORTS, WOMAN!"

"Nyketa: I just lost it. Jo eventually got me out of the room before things got out of hand."

Jo: "Go over to Tyrese and give him a proper warning. Calmly, but firmly."

[Nyketa goes over to Tyrese]

Nyketa: "Tyrese, look at me in the eyes. This is your warning. You need to clean the table. Otherwise you will go and sit on the Naughty Bench and I will take away your Nintendo 3DS for the rest of the day. Do you understand?"

Tyrese: "How about no?"

Jo: "Nyketa then took Tyrese's Nintendo 3DS and placed him on the Naughty Bench."

Nyketa: "You have been placed on the Naughty Bench because you did not do what mommy asked you to do, now stay there until I come and get you."

[Tyrese cries]

Tyrese: "I WANT MY 3DS!"

Nyketa: "NO!!!"

Jo: "Don't engage in conversation Mom. Just ignore it and do what you were doing."

Nyketa: "Having Jo there was fantastic. She was teaching me how to do the time out correctly."

Nyketa: "He's just got off the bench. What do I do?"

Jo: "Go get him and bring him back to the bench."

[Nyketa brings Tyrese back to the bench]

[Tyrese flips his mother the bird]

Jo: "Ignore it."
