A Short Sentence ...

... actually 100 of them. With the six year old needing 4 pieces of paper to finish hers.

Think it'll serve as a reminder for next time we go to a restaurant and they attempt to throw a COLOSSAL fit over ... crayons?





I may just start packing paper and pencils to begin their next 'sentence' in the car ...

I'm inspired!

I saved a similar one from my daughter when she was about 8 years old and throwing a fit at the mall about not getting something. It works!!

Good job!

At the very least they will become great writers one day. What? That's what happened to me. ;)

Although mine were always very long sentences...because my mom was mean.

I will not hit my brother Justin, as it can be harmful to his emotional health.

No serious...that's the kind she'd give me.

Love this kind of consequence. I wholeheartedly believe it works great!

Connie said...

We do this too... rarely, because it doesn't take much. They hate it!

Thanks for posting! I had forgotten this particular punishment and am totally stealing it the next time my boys start fighting.

I did this once! Only no one made me do it and mine said: I LOVE COREY I LOVE COREY I LOVE COREY I LOVE COREY x 100. I was in Grade 8... haha! :)

P.S. You're brilliant.
