IT’S YES DAY!! 🙌🏻 🙂‍↕️👍🏻🙂‍↕️👏🏻🙂‍↕️

A couple years ago, Brit and I were sick and tired of constantly hearing ourselves telling our kids “no” — even though we know it’s an important word for our children to hear as they learn to understand, respect, and need boundaries.

so while the word, no is still very much a part of our everyday vocabulary, we also wanted to focus more on rewarding the good and the extraordinary. So we created a “Yes Day” reward system. 

We have two mason jars. One is the bank and full of tons of marbles… we’re talking hundreds. The other one is empty. And for every great, kind, unnecessary act of goodness or helpfulness, the kids would earn a gem. And once that empty jar gets full, the kids would earn their Yes Day. 

The day is is held at a theme park — today’s is knottsberryfarm. 

We agreed to say yes to most things within reason, meaning all the sugary snacks and drinks that we usually say no to. Dessert before dinner? You bet! A toy from the gift shop? Yes! 

The day is really a day to fully acknowledge and reward them for their hard work. It’s not easy being a kid sometimes, especially when every few years new additions are added to the crew and attention from parents is further divided.

It takes them about a year to fill up. Oh, and the best part is we always do it on a school day.

What types of reward systems do you have for your family?

[Side Note: not one of these photos has every single person smiling. But that’s part of the joy of your kids being fully self expressed with unbridled joy, isn’t it? 🤪]
