But if I tell him he has to earn the time to use his ipad, he's less inclined to follow through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-lo-earn-things#post-2573249 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 09:43:15 +0000 regberadaisy 2573249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Things like screen time, treats, stuffed animals, etc are all special privileges that get taken away for bad behavior. About a week or two ago she lost every single stuffed animal and book in her bedroom. She has been slowly earning them back for good behavior. If she has a great day at school she will ask to pick one book and stuffed animal back.<br /> Right now she has about a dozen books and about 6-7 stuffed animals in her room. We still have a big stack of books and 1.5 garbage bag full of stuffed animals!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-lo-earn-things#post-2573031 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 08:12:16 +0000 Bao 2573031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older LO is almost 4, and she just learned to use the laptop and she thinks it's the coolest thing. She mastered the iPhone years ago. I was thinking though, that I should start having her "earn" phone/computer time. I'm not exactly sure how but maybe by doing little tasks, or behavior or she has to do something educational before she can play. </p> <p>Any thoughts on this? Do you make LO earn screentime/other activities. If so, how? </p>
