Getting Rid of the Pacifier

06 Dec 2007 08:33 PM

I have a 3 yr old and I have felt so awful about making her get rid of her nook. Finally i decided we needed to get it done. So, I made a box and cut a hole in it like a piggy bank. I cut out circles that had the days of the week on it. Each day she goes without her nook she gets to put that day of the week in her "piggy bank". When the days are all gone she get to go to the store and pick out a special toy. After she earns 3 special gifts, we put her nook in the box and send it to another (pretend) child that need a nook. oh to get the toy all the nights have to be in a row. This was the only thing i could think of that would have her involvment to get rid of her own nook. I feel like she will have a sense of pride and accomplishment when she is done. So far it is working well.
