Discipline Reward Jar

I've been trying to do a different approach to discipline lately. I just felt like I was constantly saying, "NO!", "Stop!", & "Don't do that!". Instead we reward puff balls in a jar for doing good things.

It helps them be rewarded for good things & it helps me notice good things they do. They wanted to earn pajamas (Syd picked Tinkerbell & Rob picked Spiderman). They finally earned it & were SO EXCITED!

  1. I love this cute idea. We're currently doing a sticker chart (for every 10 stickers they get 1 prize at the store...hehe the Dollar store). It's amazing what kids will do for prizes!

  6. Danielle- Yes, I wish I got to earn stuff by filling up my puff ball jar. You should have them earn PJ's. I like that idea. :)

    M- I know... man, you probably know from your nephews but having the close together is a blast but so much work!

  9. Great idea! I want to do something like this for Jack. Does Rob get the concept? I wasn't sure if Jack would really understand cause and effect very well yet? I don't know, maybe I'm underestimating him?...
