Features: The Bean Jar

I was reading the post about the kids getting the "grumblies": "Oohh, Mom, do I have to do THAT?", "I don't want to do that..!", "Oooh NOOOO!". Sound familiar? I read this article in a back issue of Homeschooling Today I got at the library where a homeschool mom used beans to get rid of the "grumblies". She gave each child a little cup and set a handful of dried beans on he counter. (NO pun intended) She told them that each time any one of them groaned, sighed, rolled their eyes, etc about their schoolwork, she placed a bean in their cup. For each bean the kid got, he had to copy a sentence once for each bean. The first day went as usual, and the kids got a look of surprise when a bean plinked into his cup, and by the end of the day, each kid had several Sentences to write. She avoided the obvious "I will not groan in class", but instead gave them more upbeat sentences like "Learning is fun!" or "Doing my schoolwork is such a wonderful opportunity to learn new things!" The next day, whenever a child showed signs of the "grumblies" like slouching in his seat or started to groan, Wise Mom would ask,"Are you telling me that you would like a bean?" Which brought immediate attitude adjustment. So the struggle turned into a game until after a few days, the kids greeted Daddy upon his arrival home with" Guess What? We didn't get any beans today!!" And learning became more fun than ever. Thought I'd pass that on, it seemed to good not to share!
