• Sep. 5, 2006 - Discipline and scheduling

I've been proud of myself the last couple of days, I put together a schedule that mixes cleaning, my work, and homeschooling together quite nicely.  The idea is Monkeyman and I cooperate on getting some chores done and then there are chuncks of time that are labled FUN and he gets to pick what we do.  This has been working laright for the last few days and then today he was begging to get to watch tv.  So I turned on reading rainbow and let him watch a half hour in his next "fun" slot.  This is a switch as there has been no tv watching during the weekday for weeks.  When I turned it off he was okay, then gradually became more non-compliant- throwing the dustpan full of dust on the floor, etc.  Finally he refused to wash his hands, and threw a screaming biting fit.  What do I do here?  How do other moms mix discipline with chores and homeschooling, I feel like I should stick to the schedule but if he is being a monster then I can't. Argh, I was so proud just a little while ago, now I feel kind of defeated.  He is in his room, not napping.
