WW: Pinterest Inspired!

Joining up again with Mama Kat's writer's workshop. The topic I chose this week is: Pinterest inspired!

If you want to learn more about writer's workshop, click the link at the bottom of this post. 

If you read my March to do list you know that one of the items on my list is to establish a chore and reward system. This is where pinterest comes in. I have been pinning things for months with every intention of getting them going on doing chores. But, as you know, life gets in the way so I am just now getting to get things done. 


This is the pin that helped me start my chore list for the girls:





And this is the pin that I based our chart on:





I started out with just two chores for each kid as well as two for them all three to do. This is what we ended up with:
This is our behavior management chart. They get a warning then move to yellow.
If they continue to have problems, manage = time out and lastly the red means
they aren't allowed any games/electronics for the day (or more depending on the "'crime")

And the  chore chart. Still missing are the clips with initials assigning
chores for each girl. The white paper is a checklist so they can put a sticker
when they complete the chores for that day.

    1. I can't take the credit for that one. My wonderful sister-in-law made one of these for her house and it worked, even when she has my kids over to visit. So, I asked if she had leftover construction paper (which she did) so she made me one!

  3. The "I can manage me!" is brilliant!! I could use one for me since I don't have any kids yet.
