It was in the Family Fun magazine a few months back, to make "dad dollars" or what I call them, "mom money". (www.festisite.com click on tools, then generate money and you upload your picture to the bills) My daughters were constantly running late for school and nearly missing the bus almost everyday because they would procrastinate....and I had to keep on them to get their stuff together, make the bed, clear their breakfast dish... So we started the mom money. I made a list of things they could use their mom money on...rent a video game, go to the movies, pick dinner...whatever you want to put on your list. So they had a list of things they had to do in the morning and I put 3 dollars on the counter. When everything was done, they collected their money, but the money disappered at 8:00. (20 minutes before the bus comes) The money has disappeared more than a few times, but they have really stopped the dilly daddeling in the mornings. They are 6 and 8...so a little younger, but you get the idea. Set a chart w a time limit on when things need to be done by and when they are done, he gets money...and then make up a list of what things cost. Like I charge them $3 to watch TV. They used to sit at the TV endlessly....but now that they are charged for it, not so much. For $10 the can rent a movie and for $20 we can go rollar skating...so it's all what you want it to be. Hope this helps! Good luck!
