I’m about to share a magical thing.
A mystical thing.
A wonderful, amazing, glorious thing.
I present: The Privilege Points Chart
(you’ll excuse the garish colors - it’s intended audience member is 7)
We first tried the chart last summer - it was passed on to me by my lovely friend Rhonna.
I made a few modifications for our family and voila - our summer of whining and complaining turned into a summer of glorious peace.
Instead of too much TV watching, we have coloring and journal writing and reading.
Does it mean that everything we do is point-related? Yes. But that’s ok. Really. It also includes a little math…I get lots of chores done…the whining diminishes to nothing. Ahhhh…It’s a good thing.
School ended last Friday - the chart went up this morning. And so far so good.
ETA: We keep track of the points in that little box at the bottom. I just put the page in a plastic page protector and we write his points in a dry-erase marker. When the points change, we just erase the # and write the new number. Erase and write, erase and write. Easy!

These are for Nana - she bought Ava this little purple outfit last weekend. CUTE!
