For a while I noticed Mason acting up and being a grouch whenever I asked him to do anything. That plus 2 year old tantrums were driving me batty. I decided that I needed to take a different approach to handling things with Mason so we would both be happy. Thus the bean jar was born. Every time he did something good, nice, cooperative, did what I asked, play with Lily etc he got some beans in his jar. When he filled it up, he got to go the the store and pick out a toy. Overall it worked really well, he acted better but I think that mostly had to do with my praising his good behavior instead of punishing his bad behavior.
On the way to the store to get a new toy!!!
He chose a little tube of sea creatures... and was not happy that I tried to take a picture of the jar and toys!
This only ended up working a couple of jar fulls but I am glad that it helped our crabby situation for a bit :)
