We have the same problem in this house. This has helped tremendously. Keep up the good work. The Consequences Pyramid coupled with the book "Growing Kid's God's Way" have really been effective in our parenting.Cheesemakin' Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654726238107266586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-76771000125342480092010-10-26T20:29:52.158-07:002010-10-26T20:29:52.158-07:00Hmm, I just realized (while passing along this ide...Hmm, I just realized (while passing along this idea) that I never posted a reply to this. THANK YOU!!! I have been using our own consequence pyramid for the last 7-8 months now, and it's amazing! I have always been horrible about consistency with my children. One day they might get away with something because I don't know what to do about it, but the next day it drives me off the edge and I blow up. That's no longer how it works in this house. We have a clear set of consequences, and the kids and the parents now what to expect. The kids are now directly responsible for their own consequences (they even move their own magnets), because it's their attitudes and/or behavior that resulted in a consequence and not a stressed and frustrated parent who has been pushed too much. <br /><br />Also, my hubby and I haven't often seen eye to eye on discipline, but we both worked together to come up with the consequences for our pyramid, and we're now working together in parenting, and not feeling resentment over how the other person disciplines. <br /><br />So from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for sharing this!!!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266709102132743491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-35553347268159420262010-02-23T19:41:49.793-08:002010-02-23T19:41:49.793-08:00I need to do something like this.

Your children are blessed to have a Mama who cares so much for them. Its great when a system works well...although to be effective they all require work and consistency! The last system we implmented was the 'Chorepack' system, which still works well although our daughter has a hard time remembering where she put her pack - we will have to add a card at the very back which says: Clip your chorepack to your board!
