i know there are so many ways to raise a child... i just need some help. When my son turned 3 he decided to not listen. Its not all the time (so i cant be totally consistent) Any suggestions or ideas. Originally i had a behavior chart that had him working on three things. he had 5 chances on each thing he was working on. He would max those chances out with-in the first 40 minutes of the day. So... we go to basic.... start with one Goal/Characteristic... and work our way up to multiple goals.
I thought the emotions chart would help him visualize where he was at. If he can make it every day with out getting to the bottom (SAD) i would reward him. one of 4 things. These were super huge rewards, i think... but would you believe that Hyrum didn't make it but once in 2 weeks to get his reward last time i attempted this. We shall see....
I will keep you posted on how it is working... but feel free to suggest ANYTHING at this point. thanks.

Good luck with that!
We just started a point system. Every thing my kids do...chores, being helpful, great attitude, anything positive...they get a point. If they don't listen, mean to siblings, negative attitude, not participating in their activities...then they lose a point or two if you're Ty. Then on Saturday, if they have like 20 points, or whatever you decide, then they get to go get an ice cream cone, or movie, or park day and ride the train, or whatever you decide is a big enough deal to them to want to get their points. And if they had a bad week, on Saturday I pick a point number that is lower thatn their points, so they know they lost their priveledges..so the next week, they want to work even harder!!
This has worked the best so far for my defiant little Ty, and Makinzee thrives on stuff like this, and Jaxx likes to hear me say, you get a point...even though he doesn't really get it! Good luck with whatever you do!
I love your family picture at the top of your blog. So stinkin cute.
Sorry, your ahead of me on the parenting game. Post your findings so I can get advice from you.
Avree decided to stop listening when she turned one! So when you find something that works let me know!!
