- the kids now receive an allowance so we can learn about money-handling
- we have a list of paid chores available for earning extra money
- LegoBucks!! Our own creation--they come in $1 and $5 increments and are redeemed with me for Lego Store purchases.
- $1 legobuck for completing that day's lessonwork.
- $2 legobucks for working one full day ahead in lessonwork
- $5 legobucks for completing a lapbook
- screentime after lessons done
- Wii games after afternoon chores done
On the negative:
- docking of monies as a Time-Out Alternative
- docking $1 legobuck for not doing lessons (on days that lessons are to be done)
- docking $5 legobuck for lapbooks not completed in one month (most lapbooks are 5-14 days)
- 25-cent fine for each chore not completed by 9a; 6p for afternoon chores
All is an effort to encourage better habits, reduce contention, and put some giddyup in the foot-dragging they are so skilled at.
