Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try you just never get anywhere. We had been feeling that way about getting our children to do their chores and simple things they should do each day. Our new solution? Fuzzy pom poms. Last night I went by Hobby Lobby and picked up a bunch of pom poms, a clearance pitcher, and 5 clearance tiki cups. Each time they do a chore without being reminded or do a good deed, or do a good job on a chore, or anything that we feel makes our home a more loving place they get to put a fuzzy ball in their tiki cup. When the cup is full they will earn something. So far they are excited about it and it is easier to remember than stickers on a chart and we can reuse them so it will save time and money in the long run. I'll let you know how it goes. I hope this works cause I'm out of ideas!!!
