Behavior for a happy family: | Consequence: | Consequence if you choose otherwise: |
Using a quiet, kind, inside voice. (No yelling, screaming, whining) | People feel supported and forgiven. The day keeps moving smoothly. | You can help the day move more smoothly by doing an extra job. |
Respecting other people’s bodies (no hitting, kicking, pinching, biting, scratching, pushing). | People feel safe. | You can make it up to them by doing a job for them, and get more control of yourself by going to bed early (or job for Mom). |
Respecting property (no banging of doors, walls or objects, or breaking things). | Our house looks nice and our things are not broken. | You can practice control by losing a property privilege for one week. |
Respecting property. (No entering another person’s bedroom without permission.) | We feel trust for each other and our things stay safe. | You can make things better by giving the offended a Yu-Gi-Oh card of his choice. |
Honoring parents (obey parents immediately). | Children stay safe and order is maintained. | You can practice obedience with a big extra job. |
Healthy eating (ask permission before taking food). | Healthy bodies, regulated budget, and trust. | You can help overcome cravings by going without treats or snacks for one week. |
Peaceful environment (quiet time at 8:00). | We can concentrate at reading time and rest at bedtime. | You can practice quiet time by going to bed early or being moved. |
Plenty of rest (be in bed at bedtime). | Healthy, happy family! | Practice avoiding distractions by losing electronics and going to bed early for 2 days. |

I love this! The Yu-Gi-Oh cards is a nice touch.
I hate to admit that Dean and I could learn a thing or two by following this chart (mainly the parts about bedtime and snacking).
So wise!
This is brilliant. I may borrow it from you when my kids are old enough to understand.
