Josh and I have decided that our kids need more positive reinforcement. Hence we have created Nelson awards night. Every Sunday night we get together for a little awards ceremony. We give the kids an award based on something that they have done well that week.
It can be anything. Helping with McKay, minding mom and dad, being a good helper...anything. We are hoping that this will encourage more good behavior.
I just bought some little awards at Utah Idaho Supply. They think they are fa.bu.lous.
You should see their faces when we call their name and everyone claps for them getting their award.
They are such great kids.
After that to kick off the summer we decided to set some goals. My dad was very into goals while I was growing up. I don't think I have ever met anyone that is as wonderful at setting goals as my dad. I want to teach my children to set goals.
We asked them to set goals for mental, spiritual, emotional and physical categories.
After setting the goals we let the boys decorate their goals sheets.
Then we hung up their goal sheets on the fridge for them to see every day and keep them motivated. So far we are doing well with our summer goals!
