We've started doing a mommy store on Sat. The boys earn points all week long then use their points to buy stuff at the store. Everything has a different point value based on expense. There are also tickets with cool stuff that they can buy (like an extra chapter of Harry Potter). There are only 2 ways to earn points. They get one point for doing something happily the first time I ask. They can earn 2 points if their brother fights them and they don't fight back, cry, or complain. That is it! We tally points on a paper then go shopping at the end of the week. The boys use their points to buy bday presents from the store for others as well. I have to say I probably enjoy looking for great deals on stuff to add to the store as much as the boys like shopping there. I also have to add that this is all thanks to the store my mom ran for us when I was young, so thanks mom!
