New Discipline approach for the new year

Oh, how I have MISSED this laptop! Our one dog thought the power cord looked tasty......so I've been laptop-less!!!! LOL!!!! Tee hee.

Ok, so seriously now, you know how it is. Every so often, ok, way too often, you sit back and realize, When did I lose control? When did this chaos set in? Yep, it's that time again! Back to school, end of summer, I want to get back in a decent routine time!

Now they're getting older on me (how dare they!) and the old standby time-out and stickers not so effective. Now they're 9,8,6 & almost 4! They want PRIVELEGES!! SO here's my new plan!

Based loosely on the Dilley Discipline Ladder....only I'm silly and have this bee theme going on...LOL Blame it on the cute clipart I found ok? SO we have the Hillman Beehave Beehive!

Ahhh.....it's a thing of beauty! We kept the separate Chore Chart system,. as that really works well and all the kids are real clear on it. I re-did the old hand drawn house and family rules as well to keep with it. I'll letcha know how it goes!
So keep your fingers crossed for me! LOL! Its nice to be able to have them all know exactly what they can/can't do, and all i have to say is "Well, go look at the chart and see where your bee is at" and no more arguing over is so and so allowed to do this or that!
