Editing them into checklists for each boy, then going through them in order. The early things were easy and made them feel good.

			<description><![CDATA[ Some of the most fun we've ever had has been with threads about creative punishments. It's a very useful form of mother wit, born of necessity and sometimes sheer desperation.

For example, my DD is the at home mom, so the fitting her style is more important than fitting mine for the behavior mod system.
