On my refrigerator we have two sticker charts. (I like stickers. They inspire me.)
One is for Mr. Smackdown.
One is for Mr. Me-Too.
They are our Caught-Ya! Charts.
Formerly they were understood as our Fruits of the Spirit Sticker Charts. though a great name, it wasn’t an enticing name. The charts represent the exact same thing–godly behavior. The Fruits of the Spirit, as explained in the Bible, are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness as well as self-control.
When the kids show a “fruit,” I state in a sly as well as frequently loud way, “Caught ya!” Off they run, giggling the whole method to the kitchen, to put a sticker on their chart. When the chart gets filled they get to pull out a reward from The Can, provided to us by my sister. inside the can are different fun rewards: bake cookies with Mom, date night with Dad, enjoy a video, have a bubble bath, pizza night, popcorn as well as a movie, etc.
Many may suggest with me that this extrinsic reward is mentor my kids to only act great to get a reward. There are times they do act in true caught Ya fashion as well as expect nothing in return. as well as there are other times that they are a bit awful as well as un-Caught Ya-like. Don’t get me wrong–I like them as well as they do get a great deal of caught Ya stickers, however there are other times I would like to rip their charts up. as well as that is when I screen a lack of caught Ya behavior, namely self-control.
I’m sure that none of you have ever screamed at your children. Nicht! I’m not truly sure where I established my capability to let loose my fury on my children, however I understand that sadly, my kids have been the avenue with which I raise my voice. Afterward, I feel like crud. I am discovering to prevent packing ammunition into the barrel of my mouth.
