Consequence Jar for children that contains extra household jobs that they "get" to do when they make a bad choice. This teaches children to take responsibility for their actions, and also that we can't choose our consequences for bad choices.
Be careful not to call this an "Uh-Oh" jar. We ALL make mistakes! Mistakes are different from bad choices.
We have a simple mason jar that is labeled as a "Consequence Jar" and when my children fight with each other, or make other bad choices, they choose one slip of paper from the jar.
Each paper lists one extra chore they need to complete. This is different than the regular chores they do each week to contribute to the family.
