He even tried rewards (which my Mom did not like) but those were abandoned. We never did standard work cards that would have been good.

We included at least my Dad (I can’t remember if my Mom was). I think that is a nice touch. It makes it clearer it really is a team. And also can show the parents really do a lot. His tasks didn’t rotate, except as we got older different people cooked diner each night.

Any chance you’d do an update post to share how this system worked over the past year?

I wasn’t sure how it was going to work, so we started small. I bought a three roll toilet paper stand that sits next to the toilet. The rule is he must check it daily and when it gets down to one roll he replenishes it from the pantry in the basement, and alert Mom if the basement stock is low. It’s worked out great; he gets really excited when he can refill it and we’re never caught without TP 🙂 I’m not brave enough to try to get my wife to stop buying in bulk, so for now we’ll stick with this! Thanks for the article, I’m definitely going to try implement some of your ideas.

Kind regards,

Ed

Totally made my day!

My 5 year old son has semantic-pragmatic disorder. He learns in a totally different way to others. We have started a chart of what he has to do in the mornings and this really motivated him and took the nagging right out of things.

Your charts are more advanced… I’m definitely going to give them a bash!
Many thanks
Clive
