Nanci, homeschooling mom of five (ages 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9), emailed this tip. Her house has "Power Plate". This plate has a wild design and does not match any of the other plates. At every meal, one person has the "Power Plate" at their place setting. The person that has the plate, gets served first, leads the family in saying grace, and gets out of doing dishes after the meal. Nanci makes sure that the plate is rotated evenly throughout the family. She has found it really helps enforce concepts like taking turns, following a leader, and respect. Her kids love the plate and look forward to seeing who is going to get it. Believe it or not, they actually get excited for a brother or sister that gets it when they don't. Wow, now that is impressive! Great tip! Try it.
The plate shown above is from Zak! Really cool looking products that are fun for kids and the family.
