Tude Tracker

I know no one else faces these challenges... but in our house attitude is a huge issue. Bryce and I have come up with a creative way to (hopefully) inspire the kids towards great attitudes and perhaps curb the whining! We thought it deserved a blog spot:o)

Here it is!They each have a side of the board to fill. Hearts are for acts of kindness, Smilie faces are for encouraging, positive words, stars are for completed chores and helpfulness around the house. For every 5 of these they get a dollar (the round coin looking things).
For unkind deeds, mean words or nasty attitudes and uncompleted chores or bad attitudes with helping out around the house they first get a yield sign. If the behavior changes to a positive one nothing happens, but if it persists they end up with a stop sign - each stop sign cost them a dollar.
This is week one... so far so good. Every Saturday morning Dad pays them the money they earned... and in return they have to pay for each stop sign. We're still in the tweaking phase, but I they have LOVED it so far - as you can see:o)
