Well, the reward chart is working well here - just one plain sticker and a promise of some kind of treat when a collection of stickers is completed. You get the picture. Got me thinking though - maybe I should get me one too. What about if I got a sticker every time I chose calm over shouting? Or, every time I successfully got to the end of a chain of 'why' questions without hissing 'Because Mummy said so!' through gritted teeth?
Mind you, am thinking that from a child's point of view, it might be more like a sticker for every time the parent got through 30 mins continuous play without trying to weasel out of it or checking phone/email. Or, perhaps a sticker for every meal actually delivered on time.
Thoughts?
