A new approach towards Obedience.

Award Tickets

The kids are starting to act up again. It seems as though it comes in seasons, or a new school year + friends. The kids are getting to the point where our normal punishments were not working at all. Taking away toys didn't matter, because they would just go to another one. Spanking was a joke. We are too busy with football, so there were no special events or outings to cancel. We go to any store whether it is grocery or convenience and it's, "I want this and I want that!!!" We would finally get to sit down and watch TV and they would demand to watch a kids show. (we have another TV connected to the satellite upstairs). Talking back, saying NO when asked to do something. Total Chaos, Disrespect, and Disobedience. For me. . . . . . . added Stress! I had to come up with something new, fun, inexpensive, and rewarding QUICK! 

I figured maybe I could do a chart where if they did certain things they would get points. Then it was hard to figure what to do with the points and what certain things were worth. 

I figured out 11 rewards.

Treat - Kiara loves ice cream, and Jerome loves treats - This is for any kind of treat, special drinks or desserts.

Buddy Pass - kids love hanging out with friends or having them over - This is for either of those

Bike Ride - kids love going to the neighborhood park - This is for a bike ride or a trip to a further park.

Game Night - This is for family game night

Movie - This one is for a movie of their choice - 5 of them = a movie at the theatre.

Game System - This is for 30 minutes of video game time.

Playroom - Kiara always trashes her playroom and cries when it is time to clean up the room - This is a 1 hour pass.

Computer - This is for 1 hour of computer time.

Stay Up Late - we're always fighting bedtime, we stay up late on weekends, the kids want to stay up all night long. This is to give extra time.

Tea Party - This is for a tea party with mom (with berry tea and a treat whether it is baked or bought) 5= a tea party with a friend.

Gold Card- This is for awesome doings, tackles in Football, Big Chores, or volunteering to help the other sibling with something. Actually endless.

The kids get NO money and if they misbehave, tickets get taken away from their collection.

We started this a week ago. So far the Program is Phenomenal. The kids actually want to do chores and extra's. I added the twist a few days ago. * If you are going to disrespect the other and treat them bad, they can pick any ticket (but the Gold) out of your bucket. That was a scary one. They are very nice to eachother being that they are very close to 5 movie tickets.
