A few posts ago I had asked for ideas to get Adrianna to clean-up. Here are a few that seem to be working! It has been a very good week of obedience! Thank you Lord for the reprieve!
1. Taking toys away- then giving them back
We were trying to clean up one day and after 20 minutes, not one thing was picked up! So I gathered all the toys on the floor, put them in a laundry basket and put them in my room. She can earn back a toy when I see another toy in her room put away and taken care of. She is doing a pretty good job of cleaning and doing it in less than 20 minutes! She really wants to earn her stuff back!
2. Sticker-reward chart
We started a Princess manner reward chart. She can earn a sticker for having good manners, obeying the 1st time, having helping hands and a happy heart, being giving, taking a good rest time, and cleaning up. When she earns 5 she can pick from my prize bag. I stocked it up with things I found at goodwill and the dollar store. This is the greatest thing ever! She is so excited to have the verbal affirmation of positive things and it also teaches her that she can't just be handed toys and fun things all the time. She has to earn them.
So we will do these things until they stop being effective and I have to petition for more ideas!
