Kids will always be kids no matter how strict you impose rules inside the house. Hubby and I don't give our children material rewards very often but there are certain instances that we do such as when they behave well in public or when they volunteer to help us around the house. I used to give them stickers then at the end of the year, they count their stickers and we convert it into cash. Now that they are bigger, one of the favorite rewards they ask is go to Dunkin Donuts and have some donuts. This does not happen very often but it is always a treat when they get it.
Play date with their friends is also a great reward for them. They get to be with their friends and do things that they love. I don't let my kids go on sleep over but we do play date once in a while. Today was EJ's second play date.
His sister always go on a play date so he is kind of jealous about that so we made sure that he has some as well. Glad he had a great time with his friends at the park today. When we got home, he took a long nap after he showered.
