Last year was so difficult that for the first time I am dreading starting school. My boys, 12 and 9, dragged out everything I asked them to do every day and we ended up not finishing a lot of what we could have completed, as well as missed a lot of fun.
We have been discussing what might help to make things better and they suggested a point system for their chores, completing school work, points tied to doing well on assignments, finishing on time, etc. I am happy to do that but I am also concerned after listening to them that it might get too complicated.
I need to figure out how this might work, both the earning of the points and the spending of points. I would like to have everything spelled out in a very clear way before we begin. Does anyone have suggestions on how to implement a system like this?
Thanks!
