[QUOTE="mattsmum, post: 61990, member: 3532"] One quick thing that has worked well for us...a marble jar. I have two glasses on the kitchen counter, over the sink. Each one is labeled with my kids' names. Everytime they obey me the FIRST time I ask them to do something, they get a marble. Rule #1 If they ASK for a marble, they won't get one Rule #2 If I see that anyone has been touching the marble jars or moving them, I will dump them all out and they will have to start again Rule #3 They can't LOSE a marble for bad behavior Rule #4 They can spend their money on anything except candy or food (my personal rule because my son would load up on candy) When they fill their glass, they get $5. I have previously had them earn a hot fudge sundae at a favorite local ice cream parlor when they filled their glass. It also helps when they don't obey me the first time and I say, "You could have gotten a marble for that if you obeyed me the first time." [/QUOTE]
