[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 385591, member: 84"] Lists never worked. Chore boards......were a joke. Allowance was a disaster......even the fines. Nagging....rarely. I did : 1. natural consequences (especially with school stuff) 2. big on the you don't do this, then you don't get to do something you enjoy doing (like you don't pick up your toys no tv or outside play or whatever) 3. if the 1st two didn't get their attention......and Mom had to pick up after them......it got thrown away. Didn't matter what it was. I never said a word, it just vanished. When it came up "missing" I would say gee, you might want to take better care of your things. It didn't take long for them to figure out what Mom picked up went into the trash. And that did get their attention. lol Because it really didn't matter what it was....homework....clothes.....favorite toy.....it was so gone. Needless to say.......I didn't have to do #3 very often.
