[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. The whole point of Elf on the Shelf is that it is tied to Santa Claus and the Elf is supposed to be "watching" your child to encourage good behavior. I think it's a crappy idea actually if you use it in a way that the elf catches your kid being bad and tattles to Santa. It's just not the way I want to incentivize my kid, and I'm Christian. We've considered doing it in a positive reinforcement way - having the Elf catch our son doing something good and having him encourage our son to do good things through messages from Santa. Positive reinforcement is more powerful, I think. So I'm not sure how the idea translates directly to Judaism but I get wanting to incentivize good behavior. My Jewish friends have this stuffed bear that sings the dreidel song. . .kind of annoying actually but that might work. Just not sure who the bear is going to report to or from, but I'm sure you can figure something out.[/quote]
