Reward positive effort with a weekend surprise!

Tell your child you've planned something special for the weekend, but don't say what it is. Let imagination build the excitement. After dinner, ask everyone to get into pajamas. Then, build a fort with pillows, chairs and blankets. Pop popcorn and put pieces of cut-up fruit on sticks. Stay up late reading, playing board games and eating your treats. In the morning, serve your child's favorite breakfast.
