When my grandma came to visit she put jars on the cupboard for each of us kids with nickels in them...if we said "Ain'" "warshed" instead of "washed" or "it don't matter" she took out a nickel. Didn't take long to figure out what not to say or at least keep quiet in front of grandma!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1151499429248323642006-06-28T08:57:00.000-04:002006-06-28T08:57:00.000-04:00Now, this is one I wish I'd known when my were lit...Now, this is one I wish I'd known when my were little. It would have saved a lot of screaming and yelling. I think kids work much better with tangible things than with concepts. You can't see 'good' or 'bad' behavior...but you sure can see those marbles adding up (or diminishing!)Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1151496449297848042006-06-28T08:07:00.000-04:002006-06-28T08:07:00.000-04:00On of my daughters teachers did this, too.

They chose to have a "slumber party" - they wore their pj's to school and watched a movie with popcorn.Nettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944075197437870258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1151495301550091782006-06-28T07:48:00.000-04:002006-06-28T07:48:00.000-04:00I love your system - especially how it makes life ...I love your system - especially how it makes life easier for you, removes the tension from potentially emotionally-charged situations, and reminds you to give positive reinforcement!Katrina @ Callapidder Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502432103160398620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1151494093609152182006-06-28T07:28:00.000-04:002006-06-28T07:28:00.000-04:00Great idea!Great idea!Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953517447164263617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1151494000577603662006-06-28T07:26:00.000-04:002006-06-28T07:26:00.000-04:00Great idea, I'm saving it for future use ;).Great idea, I'm saving it for future use ;).Mama Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121847063760369799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1151493087730736322006-06-28T07:11:00.000-04:002006-06-28T07:11:00.000-04:00When I taught school I used to do this with my cla...When I taught school I used to do this with my classroom (well sort of). When the class as a whole was really good I would add a marble to the good jar. When they were horrible say, at music class, I'd take one out. When the whole happy jar got full, we would have a class pizza party or extra recess or something to celebrate. I never thought about using it at home with the kiddos! :)TheNormalMiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331429075393644206noreply@blogger.com
