As a parent and a member of parent forums, this is just funny. Because it doesn't work.
A recurring theme in the parent world is simply that "kids are different." What works wonders for one parent&child is completely useless to another.
I have two completely opposite daughters. One has the will and dominance of a conquerer, and the other is butterfly princess. I cannot use the same methods for both.
I've seen parents post about using the random chance approach. You flip a coin or play rock paper scissors, and it is agreed upon that whoever wins gets the "prize". That works for some children, but in my case, no matter who wins, the other one cries and gets upset. Even if I explain to them beforehand and afterwards how it was completely fair.
Kids are different. It's up to you to figure out what works. The only thing I would 100% recommend to a parent is "structure". Have a set bedtime, set expectations for food time and play time, etc.
