Behavior Cards

Homework/Behavior cards (small paper sheets with squares for each day of the week. Each card has 25 squares.)can be found at any bookstore, teacher supply store, Target or WalMart. With so many kids, allowance may be difficult to make happen each week. If each child has their own card, then each child can earn a sticker per day for good behavior, following directions, etc... (more frequent stickers for smaller children would be a good idea) After each child fills up their entire card, they earn an allowance of your desired amount ( $5, $25) Our cards are only worth $5 but the children are allowed to redeem their card with Daddy or Mommy on a special trip for ice cream or something else that would only cost about $5. This way they get one-on-one time with the parent of their choice, which is sometimes hard to get in a full house! We also don't feel guilty about not having an allowance system, which many of their friends in smaller households seem to get.
