The kids were complaining too much every time I would ask them to do something. They would make the simple things (such as getting dressed) into a big deal. I decided to make a chart of all the things that they were expected to do daily (take bath, get dressed, make bed, do chores, go to school, do homework, and read). I also made a chore chart so that they knew what they were to do to help out around the house. This week Brady was to clean the tile floors (which included cleaning the dining chairs), and Logan was to dust. They took their jobs very seriously. At the end of the day, we evaluated how their attitude was that day. They are able to earn 5 starbursts a day to put in the jar. When the jar is filled up, they can choose what they want to do (such as go to a movie, get ice cream, or buy a toy that they choose. We'll see how long this lasts! Hopefully it will change their attitude!
