As mentioned on the previous post, I thought about implementing this collaborative approach with my family. My children often times monopolize my phone, want to watch youtube on tv's and other devices, or just want to take off down the street to go play. Meanwhile, I am left upset and frustrated that I can't get done what I need to because there are not enough hours in the day. So we sat down as a family and discussed our feelings. We each shared what we needed to feel content each day- weekends and weekdays. We decided to a to do list of everything I wish to have help with around the house. Each chore or helping hand they lend will allow them 5 minutes of a device, reward,or activity that they choose. I am hopeful it will continue and recognize that I have to follow through on my end to expect it in return!
