I do this while the older ones are at school. They see it when they get home and cry "Not the black bag!" Oh yes...The Black Bag. The shining black monolith sits in the living room for one week. During that time, if anyone can tell me what's in it I'll give it back at the end of the week. Otherwise it's off to the Goodwill! Now all I have to do is threaten to black bag the room. works like a charm!!

And I especially like the cry jar idea! However, I don't like using cleaning/chores as discipline--I don't want my kids to associate cleanliness or being orderly with being punished.

I've got a couple of new ones. If my kids don't make their beds, their brother can make it for them and then charge them a $1 labor charge! Also, we do penalty chores. If they don't do an assigned chore, they have to do it the next day, plus an extra penalty chore. Works on me too. To help me take faster showers, I set a timer and have my son start the washing machine. Brrrr! I get out in a hurry! If I oversleep, my son makes me sing a silly song for him. We got that from Scouts, if they forget an item at a Scout meeting, they have to sing I'm a Little Teapot in front of the whole troop! I love these creative discipline ideas.

For every item I have to pick up around the house that they don't pick up I take out a penny. Whatever is left at the end of the month the boys get to cash in to buy what they want. So if they pick up after themselves there is more left at the end of the month for them. It works for us! We have a jar full of pennies.

I may not fully get my way, but neither does my son get his! We're big comprimisers; instead of one more slide before home or ten more slides before home, we comprimise with three. It keeps him pleasant and both of us happy. I find that it’s best not to be too stringint on rules. I may not fully get my way, but neither does my son get his!

If I ask my kids to do something and they complain, I make them do more work. For example, if I say "Go clean up 5 things in your room," and they whine about it, they have to pick up 10 instead. My mom used to make my brother and I pay each other 50 cents every time we used a "bad" word like stupid or dumb or said something mean. It worked, and we still use it when we tease each other, "You owe me 50 cents!" I loved reading all these!
