Celebrating Hard Choices

We have so many arguments in our family these days! I need a way to acknowledge each child when they “do something hard to help our family” – by giving in instead of arguing, by cleaning up a mess that wasn’t theirs, by pitching in with the sad toddler when Mom’s hands are full. It’s easy to wonder if anyone notices when we help out in these small ways!

This simple chart hangs on our fridge for each kiddo so that they can show us when they’ve made a hard choice to help our family. Mom and Dad notice the stickers and ask them to tell us what they did! It’s a simple way for them to share their choices and get a bit of kudos from their grown-ups.

I’ll only email a few times a month (never more than once a week!) to let you know what new files I have available for your home, homeschool, or classroom.
