Making a 5 year old work is....????
So instead of just buying Austin a new DS, we are making him work for the money. He filled our wood box yesterday and he is supposed to rake leaves at Grandma's. We are giving him a little bit of money every time he does something that he doesn't normally do. Our hope is that making him work for the money will teach him a little more respect for his games. This has been a difficult task, he complains more than he works but he still got the job done!

Great! That's a good idea. It will also teach him that some day he's going to have to work for things himself, anyways. Jaron has to work and save for his TV. I think he'll appreciate it more, then. Just remember, next time he drops it in the toilet (hopefully that doesn't happen again), he needs to work for it again!
