I'm not a parent, but I've worked with kids for close to 12 years (yikes, has it really been that long!?) and one of the biggest things I've learned is that you have to stick to your words.
The whole "If you do/don't do X, then Y will happen" only works if Y actually happens. It's not easy, but it's better for the kids in the long run.
