Behavior Ladder

Thanks to those who gave their input about the blog and what you would like to see more of. Most of you like the way it is, a little bit of everything, but a close second came crafts and some tutorials. I have an actual list of crafts and I'm going to try my darnedest to post more crafts!
But for today it's a tutorial :)

I got the idea for this next craftish thing from my friend Mindy...I would post the post, but she has a private blog (Mind...you need to post this on your craft blog...Twisted Copy Cat)

If your like me you have tried EVERYTHING as far as discipline techniques for those beautiful blessings (with some sarcasm behind that if I was saying it outloud) we call our children. I thought I would give this a try. I'm gonna call mine the "Behavior Ladder"



First find the cutest scrapbook paper you can...I LOVE My Mind's Eye!
I used about 8 - 3 1/2" X 5" rectangle pieces. And wrapped them around a yard stick.



like so.

Taping it in the back with clear tape.



I lined up the paper to the hole at the end of the yard stick and use a hole punch and add a ribbon loop and some cute ribbons to be able to hang it somewhere.



Next I added a little strip of ribbon where each new paper met.



I wrote my kiddos name on separate clothes pins.



And added the behavior actions.
Here's what I put starting with the bottom which is obvious...
Needs serious work
Not listening
Try a little harder please
Good job! Keep it up!
You've almost got it.
WAY TO GO!!!



The finished product.

I told my kids that if they can stay at the Good job! Keep it up! or higher everyday for a week, at the end of the week we will go to the dollar store (which they think is the coolest place on earth next to Disney World :) Hopefully this will work for us!

What do you do as far as behavior or discipline techniques in your home?
