3 Strikes & You're Out: Consequence Chart & Worksheets

Children bicker, especially two of my boys who are very close in age and who have very different personalities. They are in a constant competitive battle to be the biggest, strongest, fastest and smartest at everything which often leads to “he said, she said” anecdotes. Sometimes I feel like I’m watching superhero rivals, though both are good, they each have their own agenda in life. Each one needs their own separate island to control and until they get that I have to find peace while we live in our small kingdom together. So, I dedicate this chart to them.
So far, it’s been working. It's a visual reminder of their poor choices which prompts that sleepy conscience of theirs to wake up and choose better. If my boys bicker, argue or fight, then by the third check they receive their due consequence. Over the years my consequences have varied, as of now, my boys loose evening screen time (this is the only time I allow TV or electronics, with the exception of a learning movie) and have an earlier bed time. If they are having a not-so-good day and get 3 strikes early on, I will have my child shadow me. This just means they follow me around and do not have the freedom to do as they wish. Do you find yourself wandering into a kingdom like mine? If you do, then you just might like this consequence chart. I grant you wisdom as you rule your kingdom!
