And now you daughters are here with fabulous ideas.<br /><br />I took this idea of points for different activities and applied it to my older two children who are in competitive ball, which is really expensive. In order to help them appreciate the amount of money it cost we told them they would have to earn a certain amount of money toward it. We then provided jobs that were listed with point amounts that they could do and suggestions for other ways to earn money...ie. babysitting, road stands etc. I included a date by which they needed to finish earning the money by. So even though I may end up paying for it in the long run (I pay for the extra jobs they do), they earned it and took some ownership in it.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070510205363732996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-38251285592193352512009-06-08T20:53:46.810-06:002009-06-08T20:53:46.810-06:00Oh, thank you, Saren!

I told Dallin about the book light tonight and he is SO excited! I decided to go with an individual book light since the three boys all share a room and he will be the only one allowed to stay up late to read. He's also on the top bunk, so there is no side table up there! :)<br /><br />The boys are also ecstatic to earn their own money! At this point we haven't paid them for anything so it will also be an introduction to saving and paying tithing on money earned instead of just money that is gifted to them.<br /><br />I really appreciate you sharing all of your ideas. I've got two days to work this out in my head and I'm sure our system will look and work a bit differently than yours, but this is such a great jumping off point! Thanks again!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835414394008187843noreply@blogger.com
