So we have been trying to implement a new reward/consequence system. Lucy and Tristan are still getting treats everytime she goes pee and that girls has been potty trained for over half a year now! And Dude has been working on not flipping out when Lucy is a bully, so we are giving and taking away stars as punishment or praise. The first day we did it Lucy was -10 at the end of the day.... She had locked us out the townhouse after we were taking the trash out and Norah was inside sleeping so I couldn't bang on the door. When I saw her through the window she had gotten my coffee and was drinking it smiling and saying, "yummmm!" Naughty naughty girl. And at the end of the day we tally what they have and keep a running total. That way at the beginning of each day they can start fresh (if they had a bad day the day before) so their past isn't haunting them. At anytime they can 'cash' their stars in and receive whatever reward is comparable to the amount they have acquired. So far it is going well and I think that Tristan is really getting the concept of it. Lucy sort of does but she doesn't really seem to let it affect her to much when she gets them taken away. So, we shall see how this goes!
