Incentive

We've come to a point where the boys were playing games on the iPad WAAAAYYYY too much. We instituted no iPad Mondays/Thursdays but for the other days of the week we devised an earn/reward system. "Good Job Tickets" are earned by doing things like putting their dishes in the sink, putting dirty clothes in the laundry and for Caleb getting dressed himself and for Lucas going to the bathroom by himself. We were also at a point where they wanted to buy new apps or items for an app all the time. So now they are able to earn $1 for doing chores like cleaning the kitchen table and putting away their clean clothes. Thus far the use of the iPad has gone down. And they even pooled their money together to buy some fire item for the Plants vs Zombies game. I'm not sure where Caleb got the idea of pooling money together with Lucas. I just hope it's about sharing and working together toward a common goal rather than manipulating or taking advantage of his younger brother.I'm not sure how long this system will keep going but for now it's working.
