Good Boy Jar

Zack keeps outgrowing our discipline techniques. He's just too smart! My sister, Britta, gave me the idea of earning tokens for good behavior. He also loses these tokens for misbehavior. So, we went to the craft store and bought wooden tokens and wrote amounts on the tokens. We have 1's, 5's and 10's so we can teach him how to get change as well. He gets to use his tokens to "buy" things he wants, like movies, toys and treats.
Then we let Zack decorate a jar for him to use as his Good Boy Jar. He had a blast! Letting him do this helped him take this to heart. He loves earning his tokens, and gets very upset when he loses some. It's working great so far!
