I have never, ever had my children not cooperate. If they have always been presented with this type of parenting it isn't an issue. I have had issues with the girl slamming her door. So I took her door of the hinges. To her this was a big deal, because she likes the idea of her room being a sanctuary, I have not had problems with the boy, yet.
It's no an easy approach, it requries you to remain calm and focused, but I believe it is the correct approach.
