A while ago I got genius on encouraging positive behavior.. During jobs.. Actually my focus wasn't on getting jobs done as it was doing so with a good attitude.
Serving others is an important attribute that I will and do focus attention on.
No one likes a selfish person or someone who doesn't help others and helping others with the 'I don't want to do this' kind of attitude. It makes for sloppy work and shows others that they are not worthy of being helped, amongst many other things.
Just think 'bad customer service'..
So I printed off two charts and explained to the children what they were for. As jobs or school work was completed with good/positive/joyful attitudes I wrote on their chart.
When they were filled their reward differed per child.
This sweet time loving, gift preferring child got to go on a date with her Dad to auntys work for coffee and cake. They drank tea.. And she jabbered for a full hour.. Hubby is amazed at how much like me she is.. ;)
She even was allowed to bring home a sugar satchel *gasp* which she thinks is a shaker *giggles*
Earlier that day... I took Miss-Clothing-Love clothes shopping with me, bought her shoes, jumper and new dress. To say she was high on joy that day is an understatement!!
