We started a new thing called the bean jar. When the kids do something the first time we ask, or just do something really great with out us having to tell them to (like share, say something nice to someone, clean up etc) they get to put a bean in the jar. If they don't listen and obey we take beans out. We are fairly liberal in the giving and try not to take away unless we really need to. The kids even told us when we did a great job of being a mommy or daddy and let us put beans in, and also took them out if we yelled or did something not nice (wake up call to us). When the jar was filled we got to do something really fun as a family. The kids picked bowling. We had a blast! The kids have already picked Chuck E Cheese for the next family activity.
