Repitition Just Might Work!!

You know when the kids get out of the pool and you tell them, "Go change and bring your suit and your towel and hang them up outside" and you go in later and find their wet suit and wet towel on the floor? For those of you with grown children, exactly HOW MANY times does one say this before it clicks??? Because so far, I say it over and over and it does not stick!! Well, we went through this again, particularly with Erica, the other day. And once again, she left her towel in the floor. So Scott sent her to her room to go pick up the towel and bring it to the deck and hang it up. She did this. Then Scott told her to go get the towel, take it back to her room, put it in the floor and pick it up and bring it back to the deck and hang it up. She laughed and did it. Then he told her to do it five more times. So the picture is Erica's fourth trip from room to deck to hang up a towel!!! The first two times were funny. And then it wasn't so fun after that. Scott read this in a parent book that repetition helps and suggested this is as a discipline/consequence idea. Can I tell you that we haven't found any wet towels around the house this week???? Go Scott! Hey honey, can we use this idea on eachother???? LOL!!!
