The first day I attempted to praise my children, I only moved one penny from one pocket to the other. Okay, so I shouldn't have started on a busy Saturday with a full day of cleaning ahead of us. But still.
I really have to get better at verbalizing the positive things I notice about my children. I am thinking it is like any skill. It will improve with time.
So this weeks goal is to put 10 pennies in one pocket and see if I can successfully move all of them to the other pocket in one day by the end of the week.
I did better than Rich. He didn't move any pennies from one pocket to the other that first day. ; )

You did one! You just wanted to be able to improve as the week went on. It isn't easy catching kids being good.
I tried it, too, with only minimal success. But it's better than NO praise, right?
