Responsibility

Josh and I have wanted to create a chore chart for Reid for a few months now. We knew it was time to start instilling the value of a dollar in our boy and thought a daily list of chores would be a good start. Yes, he still has to help out with other things around the house as just part of being in a family, but this also allows him to earn some spending money. The latter part is rather important since he is a shopper like his mama. :)

So...Josh had the ever so clever idea to use a Connect Four board as the way Reid would indicate whether he completed his chores or not. I loved the idea so I went to work and created this...

When Reid completes a chore, he inserts a red checker. If he does not do the chore, then he puts a black one in the slot. So far, he has not had any black checkers. The kicker is we will not remind him of his chores. He has sole responsiblity and he is doing marvelous so far. The boy likes hearing change in his pocket....
