Trying something new... a new way to encourage positive behavior

So anyone that has a little girl will agree that they can be pretty stubborn. Its pretty easy to focus on the negative and reacct to that so we are going to focus on the positive. unacceptable behavior wont be allowed but we will give their positive behavior more attention. We will be doing this with both brooke and carter. When a positive behavior is noticed especially the ones that we want to see more of we will be drawing a card. on that card will have something fun and free to do on it. These things are things that we should be doing anyway with our kids and things that they enjoy. We all know how easy it is to get busy with life and sometimes could really be doing more. So i have made a list of rewards taken index cards cut them in half and written these rewards down.

1. make a book together
2. for a walk
3. play a game
4. do a puzzle together
5. have a pillow fight
6.feed Rusty (the dog)
7. wii kids dance
8. talking tom (my kids love this on my phone and ask to do it all the time)
9.make pudding or jello
10. make an obstacle course
11.playdough
12. cuddle time
13. finger paint
14. bake a treat
15 help make a meal
16 give a horsie ride
17.sleep out in the living room
18.pick out the next meal
19.piggy back ride
20 star gazing at night
21chew gum
22.have a tea party
23. talk on the phone with friend or family memeber
24. color a picture together
25.stay up ten minutes later
26.do the dishes-i know who would think this is a reward, but to young kids this often is who doesnt like playing in the water and i can just stick the dishes in the dish washer when theyre done anyway
27.pancakes for supper
28. star fall
29. make a craft
30.feed the fish
31.Read books together
32. picnic in the house
33.turn on kids music and dance
34.make a macaroni necklace
35. hide and seek

Ok so one thing that i want to say is that all of these rewards will be given to both kids no matter who earned the reward and it will be done together with either mommy or daddy or the both of us. My kids are a blast, really what child isnt but this will be a great behavior reinforcement and it guarantees that we spend a little more qaulity time with our children, how can we go wrong?! I am not using anything that costs money either because i dont want to buy their good behavior some might say a positive reward system is but in the way that we are doing it i dont necessarily agree, yes its motivation, but its good quality time with my children. them wanting to earn these rewards will hopefully lead to more positive behavior and you know what they say you do something long enough and it becomes a habbit. the great thing about this is that the rewards can be easily changed as their interests change. Feel free to use any of our ideas or offer ideas for rewards.
