for our boys to do their chores, be more helpful, and show more love around our home. We started this about 2 1/2 weeks ago. The boys are rewarded with punches anytime we see them do a kind deed without being asked, or finish their chores after school, or things as simple as not coming out of their room after they've been put to bed at night. It's totally working too. Things have been so much easier around here. Oh, and they can also lose a punch for bad behavior too... we just X it out. They sure hate seeing a big X over a once earned punch. At the end of the week we open up (what the boys like to call) the "treasure box store". Then they can buy things with their punches. They love it. Each week we make a new card.

That is a cute idea. I'll have to remember that.
You are an amazing MOM!!! What a fabulous idea. Your chore chart was always a really great idea, but this is even better.
That looks fun. Do they have to get a certain amount of punches to get certain toys or how does that work? I'm curious, you'll have to let me know. Anyways, I miss you sis. I haven't talked to you that much since school started, darn it. I need to get better about leaving earlier and hopefully that will help. I agree, you are a great mom and a fantastic sister. I love you!
What a great idea Jaimie- now if only that worked for 2 yr olds :) We are in potty training hell at the moment- 3 at once.
Okay, I think you've just earned the "Mom of the Month" award for this one! Such a great idea, and so much fun for the kids. The best we've come up with lately is a "3 strikes and you're out" policy. Then our boys got smart and wanted to know what happens when they get 3 strikes...Ohhhh believe me, I said, you don't want to know! Not too creative, but so far they haven't made me think of a punishment!
