Might work for the whole family, not just the kids!!

In regard to the previous comment, I don’t think they are suggesting withholding time if the child doesn’t make the goal, but that’s a great point that it might seem that way to the child. Spending more time with the child (regardless of their “performance”) is probably a good thing!!

Plus enough times of that and they’re going to stop caring about my approval, especially if they can get approval elsewhere.
everything else was inspiring!
