Help! Kids are driving me crazy! How can I get them to behave?

I have 3 kids a 5 yr old girl in kindergarden, a 3 yr old girl and a boy turning 2. My 5 yr old is the leader of the pack & she is teaching the other two to misbehave. I'm a stay at home mom and I get a break when shes at kindergarden and the younger two go to Mothers Day Out 2x a week. Thats when I can get errands and more cleaning done. My husband works long hours mon - sat so its pretty much just me w/ the kids. My main problem is w/ my five yr old. It took her almost 2 hours to do a simple 1 page homework assignment. She doesn't wanna dress herself or wipe herself after using the potty. She tells me no when I ask her to do something. She won't clean up her toys. She wines and cries everytime she doesn't get her way. I don't wanna spank her, I think shes too old for that but it seems like screaming, yelling, spanking her are the only ways to get her to listen. This is not the kind of mom i wanna be. I cry everytime i do that. I feel like the worst mom in the world. What do i do?

Answers:
Develop a routine. I know it is easier said than done, but young children thrive on them. also, set limits and follow thru with them. Screaming is not effective. I know, b/c my mom screamed at me my whole childhood, and I just learned to tune it out.

Apart from teaching them how to behave, I would make sure I give them plenty of vegetables and fruits as well as Vitamin B complex liquid or tablets for children. The Vitamin B group will help them to think positive as well as calm their brain down. or you can try homeopathy therapies. Try the homeopathy for children
