My kids will be expected to do laundry, help clean the kitchen/bathroom, etc. without the thought that they are earning anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787785 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:34:57 +0000 katsupgirl 1787785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: that's a cute one too! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787784 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:34:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 1787784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like this idea if it's a not-so-bad of a crime. A bad crime still deserves more time to me ;) Or LOTS of points that will take a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787720 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:01:10 +0000 AprilFool 1787720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like this idea! I think it's great for minor infractions and I like @snowjewelz: idea of using it to earn things. If there's something big they want and I don't want to buy this could really work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787613 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:06:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1787613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: I like that too. I bet a child that has trouble listening or remembering to pick up their toys will start remembering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787612 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:05:05 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1787612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I agree that it shouldn't be applicable in every situation! But for minor infractions or multiple infractions regarding the things on the list (ie not doing your chores when you're supposed to, not extending kindness to your family members, etc) I think it's a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787604 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:02:26 +0000 Boogs 1787604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha it's a pretty clever list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787241 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:52:07 +0000 Chillybear 1787241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw an interesting one on pinterest - Leave your toys out and they get stored in the giant tupperware bin and you must do chores to "unlock" them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787138 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:17:15 +0000 swurlygurl 1787138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea of earning X number of points by doing various tasks as a punishment for getting in trouble. I think it should be its own form of punishment though: for certain 'crimes' you get this opportunity to get your freedom back. I don't believe ALL groundings should be able to be bought with chores.<br /> And I would have different tasks on my list, because I think kids should be expected to do the majority of those cleaning tasks anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787052 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:52:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1787052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! Especially if the reason for punishment is rudeness or not doing chores etc...I feel like that's a god way to encourage the behavior ypu want to see! I also like that it keeps me from having to decide how long they should be grounded for :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787041 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:48:53 +0000 snowjewelz 1787041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree that it depends what crime they have committed. I think maybe instead of as a way to get ungrounded, maybe it can be a way to earn something instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1787030 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:45:05 +0000 katsupgirl 1787030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: good point. I guess it would depend on the infraction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1786930 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:00:10 +0000 MrsBrewer 1786930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like this idea, but I guess depending on what they did to get grounded in the first place, I wonder if they are really learning their lesson. Or if it's more of a "well if I stay out past my curfew, I will just have to do some chores around the house" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clever-discipline#post-1786910 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 10:50:31 +0000 katsupgirl 1786910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mom makes a list of ways her kids can get themselves off punishment and it's brilliant. </p> <p><a href="http://lynettesnewhobby.blogspot.com/2014/04/grounded.html" rel="nofollow">http://lynettesnewhobby.blogspot.com/2014/04/grounded.html</a></p> <p>I thought this was so clever. I'd totally do something like this when she gets older. </p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
