The Magic Jar

This is the second time we've used a jar and chocolate as a tracking mechanism to keep the kids motivated towards a goal. It seems to work well for them. This time the goal was to be respectful and kind and the reward was an evening at Pirate Island - a themed pizza restaurant in Orem.

Today the kids finished the goal and filled the jar with candy so we invited Julie to join us for an evening at Pirate Island. The kids wore pirate hats, played arcade games, and enjoyed at least a few bites of their food. I enjoyed the atmosphere and I kept thinking of ways to improve it. I'd love to open a place like that someday.

Kudos to the kids for doing such a good job. We'll do the jar thing again to keep these good things going.
