Changing Youth Entitlement

Well, God spoke to me once again. I have become so frustrated with the kids disorganization (especially my middle child). I have been searching for inspiration to tackle this problem. My dear sister in law listened to me vent the other day and recommended a book that she found inspiration in, Cleaning House by Kay Wills Wyma. The first chapter talked about a plan to reduce clutter and creating responsibility, even holding the parents accountable . Yes, I have my creatively organized piles and clothes hanging here and there. The first plan is to give everyone a jar with 30-$1.00 bills. Everyday beds must be made, rooms remain clutter free, and clothes in their proper places or you loose your dollar. At the end of the month, what is left is theirs to keep. Money seems to talk to my boys, and well me too;). Watch for our progress.
