Reward System

Taking the advice from my parenting board, DH and I decided to implement a Reward System with Chayleigh yesterday. It is a plastic jar (from the dollar store and has a lid) that she is able to put in bouncy balls. She gets one when she does something good or when we ask it. She will get two if she picks up her toys without asking. She loves it. However, she also learned yesterday that if she is bad, she loses the balls as well. When she throws a tantrum or hits one of us, she loses one. Yesterday she earned 14 balls. She went to bed with 8. All in all, I think it is pretty successful so far.
