Magic!

We've had a tough time in the behavior department with Jenna lately. It was like one night she decided to turn sassy and nasty and refuse to listen. I even asked Nate if we had turned into some lazy, awful parents lately or if this change I had noticed was real. Well, it was definitely real!

So we broke out the reward charts. If you look closely, you can see that the girls have things they must do in order to be able to draw in their box. Jenna draws faces and hearts, while Abby draws Xs. If they have six good days in a row, meaning that they get 5 out of six spaces full each day for six days, they get to go to McDonalds.

I'm thinking that bar might be a little high for a two and four year old to reach, but for right now, it's working like MAGIC! Jenna's behavior, especially, has been awesome:) We may tweak the reward chart as we go, but for now, we are loving it!

I love this idea. Wish it would work for Ronan, but he is too whacked to even understand the concept. I hope it continues to work for you!
