 The
Funny Side of Parenting
From the kitchen, Mom called to her son who was
playing with his friend, "James, I'd like you to
take out the trash please?"
James, smugly looked at this friend and then called
back to his mother, "What do I get out of it?"
Mom thought for a moment and then replied, "Well,
we'll give you food, a place to sleep, and clothe
you throughout your entire childhood."
James picked up the trash and started heading out
the door mumbling, "I hate it when she puts things
in perspective."

Insight You Can Use Now
Here's a fun idea that came from our elementary
age online support group.
"We started a chore system that seems to be
working so far. Basically, you make chore cards
for each child, arrange them in a specific order
and literally clip them to the child. As the
child does the chore, he flips the card to the
next one. When done, the child reports to Mom
and hands in the clip. It's kind of hard to
forget what you are supposed to be doing when
your to do list is clipped to you! When I say
chores, I mean getting dressed, making their
beds, brushing their teeth. We’ll work up to the
big stuff in good time.
"So far, they love the cards and I’m not
badgering them to do what they need to do. The
consequences for not obeying are simple and
appropriate. If they skip a job, they go back
and do it. If it isn’t done well, we either go
over how to do it or they do it over. If they
take too long, they lose privilege time – like
playtime or TV time. If they really fight me,
they get to chill out for awhile until they're
ready to hear instruction and complete their
jobs. Not really a time out but a “break” – like
Turansky/Miller promote."
