Incentives

Home schooling has been tough on all of us in some way or another. It has felt like we haven’t been keeping a schedule and no one has seemed excited about getting their work done. I talked to Brad about my concerns last week and he suggested I give them charts to cross their to do items off and incentives if they complete their tasks for this week. I ordered some charts that day and they arrived yesterday. And honestly today was amazing. Kade was up early and got straight to work on school after breakfast. Tenley didn’t complain and was willing to work. We got all of our tasks completed before Brad even came home for lunch at one. It was so great and refreshing. I hope days like this can become the norm. 

I even created a bonus chart for them that they get to put a sticker on everyone they do something kind for someone else. Once they get 100 stickers we’ll go do something fun together. They’re currently working toward a trip to the skating rink.
