Another thing that's worked well for my children is using positive reinforcement in as many stations as possible. The carrot, not the stick. If you do X, you'll be rewarded with Y. vs If you don't do X, you'll be punished with Z. Kids, even young ones, are pretty smart. In most situations simply being reasonable, consistent, and explaining your rationale goes a long way. "You can't watch more TV because doctors have said X hours are the maximum healthy amount." "If we start another game before cleaning the other one up, the house will be too messy and it's unfair for Mom and Dad to do all the cleaning for messes we didn't make"
