The Winning Stick. Basically… a reward system for kids.
Do something good…. move up the stick.
Do something naughty… move down the stick.
Reach the top…. get a reward.
I made one today (bought a dowel at JoAnn’s) and am going to try it out with Porter.

I like this. we tried a sticker reward system, with those weekly paper list things that Target has in their $1 bins. But that lasted MAYBE two weeks. But I think i might pick up a dowel for this. How long is the dowel?
Do you have any ideas for a 9 year old?
