If it works....... do it again!

I'm into rewarding my kids for work well done! I do not have a de-merit system, where they lose privileges. When my eldest(WizzKid) was 3 I posted a chart on his wall to record the nights he slept successfully in his OWN bed! Once he had obtained 5 'Poo bear 'stickers on his chart he was allowed to choose an ice-cream at the corner shop! That first night, and from then on , he was a boy on a mission!!!!! He wanted that Ice-cream SO BAD that he was willing to deal with his fear of being alone. It worked!

Many years on, I am still a firm believer in 'Rewarding' my kids.
On Monday I presented a challenge(reward system) to my boys. I told them, I was looking for........

• 100% on their weekly spelling tests
  
• weekly bible scripture to be known off by heart


• 80% or above to be obtained in their maths tests


• Beautiful work!

I picked areas that I felt needed working on. Everytime they acheive in any of these areas they earn a sticker on the chart...........................

Once they have 10 stickers, they are allowed a dip in the TREASURE BOX! I showed them the rewards, and they were thrilled!

Which boy wouldn't accept a challenge when the 'stakes' are this high?
