Many moons ago when I had a three year old and and one year old, I ran into a frustration with screen time<\/a> that was solved by using TV tokens<\/a><\/span>. They worked brilliantly for some time, but eventually we went cold turkey on screen time, except for Friday movie night, with incredible results<\/a><\/span>. That system has been working well for us for years, but as things go, we’re entering a new phase.<\/p>\n

No screen time worked well for us until the lock down began because our days were full. Homeschool or co-op in the mornings, soccer practice, theater class, Taw Kwon Do and more filled out days. When we weren’t scheduled for something, we used that time for free play. And on Fridays, we all were psyched and ready for pizza and movie night. It was a great system.<\/p>\n

Well now, like the rest of you, life looks a little different. We are home a lot more. We have a lot of wonderful time for creative free play, school work, moving our bodies, and life skills. And then we still have time left over.<\/em> It’s been pretty great for the most part, but it brought about a new struggle for us.<\/p>\n

With the extra time, Hailey wanted to check her email more; Kaitlyn wanted to play on her Codeverse<\/a> platform; and I wanted some structure in our day that didn’t include whining. When our days were busier, this responsibility chart with paid chore option<\/span><\/a> worked well for us (and before that, the door-hanger chore chart was a hit<\/a><\/span>!).<\/p>\n

However, I noticed that the girls were no longer motivated by money. I’d have to hound Kaitlyn some days to get through her responsibilities because she couldn’t care less about earning money with the paid chore option when she had no Target trip to go on and spend it. We had a chat with the girls and discovered that what they wanted most was time on their screens. So I listened, and David and I came up with a new plan.<\/p>\n

We created a responsibility chart that created a win\/win situation. They accomplish what I want and need them to, and they earn a reward that is meaningful to them<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n
