DYK I wish you luck with teaching Abi to work toward goals?

DYK We are still trying to teach Maegan this and I still don't think she gets it?

DYK She is one of those 'live in the moment' kids?

DYK So working for a goal of a reward sometime in the future apparently doesn't work for her?

DYK We only have 2 weeks before Maegan goes back for 2 weeks of band camp?

DYK And school starts as soon as those 2 weeks are over?

DYK I can't believe Maegan's summer is almost over already?

DYK We still haven't made a decision as to whether Maegan will be marching this next year or not?

dyk it's a short term goal, with mini rewards each morning


dyk I told her once she is asleep without screaming I will go in and put a sticker on her chart.


dyk and after she gets 5 stickers, she gets a special prize - anything she wants.


dyk the chart has 7 days on it.


dyk she caught on that there was room for error. lol


dyk no one is perfect ya know?

dyk she gets a new sheet each week


dyk it's taped to her wall


dyk she TRIED to start her business before bedtime with the snack - she wanted more ranch and I said no, she needed to eat what was there and be done


dyk she started getting wild and I said screaming before Bed wouldn't get a sticker either - as snack is part of the deal


dyk but she went behind my back while I was nursing Ellie and got DADDY to get her more ranch

DYK She's a freshman this year?

DYK She has made some progress, but we're still having trouble in a few areas?

DYK Mostly it's the teenager in her that comes out at inopportune times?

DYK I was aggravated with her the other day because she had an attack of attitude not 5 minutes after I spent $50 on clothes for her?

DYK I threatened to take the clothes back to the store?

DYK She has done well with her math studies this summer?

DYK And most days she gets up and goes to the office with Bruce?

DYK He has her doing 2 lessons of math daily?

DYK She's not wild about it, but I can tell that she is getting a lot better at math with all this practice?

DYK I know she can do it?

DYK And she always does well during the summer when she gets one on one attention?

DYK It's what she will or won't do when she goes back to school that is the real problem?

DYK You and Sean need to get on the same page!

DYK Bruce & I have more than once had to present the 'united front' where Maegan is concerned?

DYK She thought she would play one of us against the other...haha...that most certainly doesn't work around here?

DYK I'm off to bed, Jennie?

DYK It's been a long day of cooking and cleaning and working and it's starting to tell on me?

DYK 'See' you tomorrow!
