I have discovered new punishments for the children. Chores! It seems to work better than taking away screen time or time outs which can sometimes just lead to tantrums. If the kids are misbehaving, I'll warn them with however many chores they'll have to do... Well, Lorelai usually puts up a stink about having to clean but once she gets going she usually starts to have fun. She's getting pretty good at cleaning too! It's a win-win situation!
In the scenario below I don't even remember what Lorelai did to warrant a few chores. I punished her the night before. This morning we woke up and I told her we have to get ready for company coming to visit soon she she said, "Mommy, remember I have chores to do? I can help you clean the guest room." And that's just what she did. Swiffer Dusters are perfect for kiddos and she was actually a big help!

| Scarlet helps too. She makes sure the bathroom cabinets are fully stocked... |
