tickets tickets everywhere!

After some awesome kidlet behaviour today - actually completing some pretty tough chores & helping each other out when things got tough, I finally instituted our "HOME PBS SYSTEM" aka, the "TICKETS TICKETS EVERYWHERE" PROGRAM!  The kids have an awesome PBS (positive behaviour system) at school which they love and talk about constantly - so I decided to start our own here at home with one addition: I CAN TAKE AWAY TICKETS AS WELL AS GI VE THEM OUT!!  This is our first shot at the system, but the kids and I started the basic outline and guidelines ... thought I would share:

 

  • Tickets awarded (2) when chores are completed  properly with no arguments or stalling
  • Tickets awarded for "special behaviors"
  • Tickets awarded (2) for every 100 pages read
  • Tickets revoked from BOTH BEACHGIRL & BEACHBOY for arguing
  • Tickets revoked for not doing daily 30 min of reading - min. 7 pages - Sunday through Thursday
  • Tickets revoked for arguments when doing summer work
  • Mommy and Daddy can give and take tickets as they choose!

 

IDEAS FOR USE OF TICKETS:

  • 10 tickets - decision for activity of next day
  • 50 tickets - new lacrosse gloves
  • 40 tickets - Jungle Jim's
  • 40 tickets - nintendo game
  • 40 tickets - new webkins
  • 20 tickets - white water mountain
