Connor has only been 3 for 7 days and each day has had a major meltdown. I'm starting to think that it's not Terrible 2's, it's Terrible 3's.
We are trying a Responsibility Chart and Reward Jar. I made up a chart with his responsibilities - make bed, put clothes in hamper, be nice to mommy, be nice to daddy, eat all meals and pick up toys. He gets a sticker when he does it. I made a Reward Jar that he'll be able to pick a reward from at the end of the week if his chart is good. We just started it and haven't figured out how many he'll have to have for now, but eventually we want to have the whole chart filled for a reward.
His rewards are on slips of paper and include - 1 extra book at bedtime, 2 extra books at bedtime, 3 extra books at bedtime, book from library, ice cream outing, trip to the park, trip to Bellaboo's, trip to train restaurant and Target $1 spot pick. There are multiples of some, only one of others, like Bellaboo's because that will easily be a $15 day. I want to eventually have the jar at least half filled, but don't know what other kind of rewards would be good. We don't want to have too much food or things that cost money. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them!
