New schedule, day one.

It went pretty well, actually. There was a tiny bit of whining, but they did it. By 3:30, school was completely done. It was much, much better than the day before, when school was dragging on into the evening hours. I've also found a threat that works well, 10 extra chores. I told my youngest that he could whine about his work if he wanted to, but I was going to be making a list of the 10 extra chores I wanted done. He decided to quit whining and get it done.

We'll see how it goes next week.

  1. Good luck on the new schedule! I've also found that the threat of extra chores is pretty effective. ;)
