[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 553742, member: 1514"] I was going to suggest some form of combination of crossing off of a calendar and reward for decent behavior. Almost like an advent calendar type thing that all the kids could partake in. Each of them could have their own "Daddy Calendar" on which you place 90 (or the appropriate number of items) Make it a big calendar with the days of the week and attach each small item to the days. It can be something as small as a mini pack of M&M's or even a stick of gum. Maybe on one day, say a Friday or Saturday, it could be a little envelope with a stay up to watch a movie card. Or play a game with mom. Or phone call with dad. Just thinking out loud here. They have lots of packs of little toys at the dollar store that you could stick on the calendars. As the kid removes the item, they cross off that day with a big marker. When that month is done, you take it down. Pretty soon, you are down to just one calendar and the days are getting fewer and fewer. I dont know, I used to use those advent calenders with mine at xmas when they were so hyped up at Xmas. Now I send them to the grands so they can use them. All they are is little doors with a tiny piece of candy inside when you open the door for the day as they count down to xmas eve. [/QUOTE]
