Hi Starshine, sorry to hear your b/a kids are not listening. Like we do with the little ones, why not get them into a routine when they are at your place. Come in, have snack and then play. They probably have some steam to let off because they've been sitting in class having to pay attention. You might want to use a sterner voice and instead of a time out, get them to do a chore like wipe down the kids table/chairs. Forget reminding them of the rules and enforce them. As for walking together to/from school, I get my kids to partner up and hold hands. Its harder to run while they are attached to some one else, or the ultimate embarrassment, they have to hold your hand
