Hearts and Minds

My Little Cherub In order to quell angst, disagreement and general unpleasantness around the wilful refusal of a certain young person to brush her teeth, put on her sunscreen and eat her supper, we have instituted a rewards scheme for accomplishment of said activities.

Early signs is that it's a success... she loves drawing on her hearts, stars and smily faces herself and resistance has been limited though admittedly not entirely absent.

At the end of the week if she's accumulated enough stars, she'll get a prize. Nicole asked her what prize she wanted. She suggested a Barbie doll. Eyes raised to heaven, I suggested a Milky Bar, to which she readily agreed.
