This is the best thing I have ever done with my kids. Every evening, I pull the reward board out and we all go over it so they can see what they earned and why. My oldest daughter is all over this thing. She is really doing a great job and earning more and more gold stars. When she starts whining and stuff or is getting into trouble, I tell he I will take away some gold stars and she shapes up right away!

I got this idea when I was a service manager for an air conditioning contractor. I came up with a monthly bonus board that hung in our service room. The “visual” of seeing where they were with their bonus was tremendous. Like here at home, the visual is great. The kids really like seeing where they are with their stars and allowance.

This may very well be one of the best ideas I have ever had.
