4 Score

The Inspiration 

I found this "cleaning game" via Pinterest. The idea is that you fill in a grid with chores and then your kids can choose "four in a row." I figured, why not try it out? Because the current level of complaining EVERY TIME I ask for something to be done could not get any worse.

And because I know how she-who-shall-not-be-named likes to be the master of her own destiny.

So, I made a grid on our chalkboard door in the laundry room. Mine is just 4x4, so you choose an entire line. This makes it possible for me to have a bit more control over the variety of things done each day.

Possible rewards are screen time, swim, playdate, etc. Yesterday it took someone a mere 20 minutes to finish her 4 chores. Which is usually about how long I have to deal with push-back for one. So, I counted that as an immediate success.

Hope it continues.
