This morning, I introduced the boys to our new kindness jar. I try to praise them when I see them doing nice things for others. This will make it more visual for them. Each time we see them being nice to each other, someone else, us, etc. they will get to add a piece of candy to the jar.
They are totally excited about filling up the jar with the candy!!!
As a reward, they were able to choose something for us to do together as a family. I threw out several suggestions:
- Take our bikes to the park and ride around the bike path
- Have a family picnic in the living room
- Go out for ice cream
As much as I was hoping for something like the first two, of course, they went with the ice cream.
I picked this jar up in the Valentine’s Day section at Kroger last weekend for five dollars. Pink lid and chalkboard heart ready to go! I am hoping it is an investment that will pay off long after the right now.
If you already have a jar sitting around your house, add on a chalkboard sticker.
You will be ready to go, too!
