[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One I saw featured in an article recently but haven’t tried.

A way to teach your kids values. Maybe this works well for 2-4 kids also, you’d have to adapt for a single child. M

Present a value at the beginning of the month. Honesty, dedication, sharing etc. Something that is abstract but you want your kids to learn about.

Tell them at the end of the week, whoever works on that value the most will get a certificate hung on their bedroom door. The certificate routes around to kids on other weeks.

I like it because it is low stakes (just a poster), and teaches them something.  You don’t even have to have a really perfect kid to point out the 1-2 things they did to earn the certificate during the week. [/quote]
If I’m understanding this correctly, I dont think it’s something we would do because there’s a competition l between the siblings so a winner/loser. My kids are already too competitive with each other, and the older one would have a better memory and strategy so would always beat the younger. I’d try to figure out a way to make it more cooperative, or a system where your competition is against your own previous performance, something like that.[/quote]
