"I will praise the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips." Psalm 34:1

The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture! ~ Douglas Phillips www.visionforum.com

What are the charts in the background of some pictures?

This is a question I have recv'd in the past and I recently got another e-mail asking about this.  I dug through photo bucket and found an old picture of just the charts instead of taking a new picture.  Here is the chart that is being referred to:

The top two are our chore charts.  They have each child's name down the left side.  Then across the top it is divided into morning, meal time, afternoon and before bed chores.  Below the chore chart is our daily schedule. 

The next question that usually accompanies "what are the charts" is "what is the tape for"?  There are three pieces of tape (one beside each child's name)  From time to time (usually once or twice a month) I put special things on those stickers.  We have plastic disks and have special things on each disk.  I put them up on a Monday morning before the children are awake for the day.  They are surprised to see the disk and have all week to redeem the disk.   All disks have different things like:

*eat dessert first

*pick your favorite cereal

*foot rub

*choose seat in van all week

*moon walk with mom or dad

*and so on

We don't do this every week.  Most often it is once a month and sometimes twice a month.  We all greatly enjoy these special treats.  The children never know when they will appear and are always thrilled to see them.


Share a Blessing!
