Parenting Tips For Accountable Kids

• We really loved using the token system and it couldn't have come at a better time. I'm the mom of 7 with 6 children still living at home. This system has been a huge blessing in curbing arguments and slothfulness. The earning of tokens help children work towards a goal and feel a sense of accomplishment by achievement. We used poker chips with each color representing a different value. There is a list posted on our family bulletin board with some of the redemption rewards and their token values. Now for Easter egg hunts, the children ask if we can hunt for tokens instead of candy. It's also very helpful in our homeschooling memorization. Tokens are earned for certain goals reached. With a risk-free guarantee, I don't know why anybody wouldn't try it. Consistency is the key. Thanks so much for helping keep peace in our home!! :)  Jenn

• I am sure many people have told you this is a blessing to them straight from God as it most definitely is to me.  I was browsing the internet this evening trying to find answers to my relationship with my 6 almost 7 year old daughter and ended up reading some sort of question and answer blog where you are one of the authors.  I clicked on your website and am thrilled that there is something like this.

• I have been using the system for about 3 weeks, and you are right. It is remarkable. The positive change in my children's attitudes (at least most of the time)has been great. My 2 boys are finding that working together to achieve a common goal is really beneficial to all of us. What a blessing it is to have my children showing the desire to serve not only me, but one another too. S. Lacey

• Your book is an answer to prayer. I told the Lord I just didn't know how I could continue unless something changed. Then I bought your book at  the Homeschool fair in OKC. What a blessing. For the first time I could see some hope. Maria M., Fort Sill, OK
