reward one (say for DD1, trying really hard at school, or for DD2 trying to write her name) without rewarding the other?
For example, DD1 has a parents evening coming up soon and I have indicated to her that if her teacher tells me she is well-behaved and tries hard, then I may buy her a small present.
What do I do about DD2 though, who will obv be upset that DD1 gets a treat and she doesn't? Now I could buy something small for DD1, but that will seem like diluting the reward for DD1 (she has told me this in her own words).
There are often times when i would like to reward one or the other - esp DD2 with a star chart for staying in her own bed, but also have to do this with DD1, even tho she never gets out of bed.
Are you with me? Am I making sense?
