Okay all you moms out there, I think I found a good system for now. I got the classic sticker stars in the dollar section at Target. They also had a teacher packet of shooting stars. Each color of star represents a coin amount. The red star is minus a coin amount of your choice. I ask the girls to do a chore and if they complain before or during the chore , they get a red star. Some times I offer them a chore, sometimes they don't have a choice. That way they are responsible for what they make. I am tired of making my kids do chores and having to listen to the crying and whining while they do it. So I have put it in their hands as to whether or not they do chores. So far it has worked really well. I get more cooperation and they are proud of what they accomplish. I do not use the star system for behavior on the older two. I am tired of making threats and not following through (the big no no in parenting) So I have put the choice on them.
