Ever issue a punishment and think....Huh?
Earlier this week Jonah threw a little tantrum when I called him for school. Tantrums are not allowed. Getting off schedule because of tantrums is not allowed. I remained calm and in control and issued the punishment.....for every minute he delayed schoolwork, he owed me a minute of extra chores. His extra chore was.....scrubbing the kitchen floor (if you see our floor, you can tell that I hate this job). Well, he was pleased - yes, pleased - with the chance to scrub the floor. And.....to make matters worse (better?) his sibs begged to help him. In the end our floor was scrubbed by four kids for about 20 minutes each. I'm not sure if I won the punishment battle or not, but I know my floor is much cleaner.
