Do you think I could have my very own dictionary?
Yes!
But that's expensive. I'll wait until I find my wallet and then I can give you my 10 dollars.
Or you could practice really well all week and I could buy you one as a reward.
Oh, I don't think I deserve that. I've already practiced really well for 3 weeks and I still haven't earned a dictionary.
Why don't we practice for one more week and make it four, then you can have a dictionary?
How about five.
Well, OK.
Experts are right on this one. Let kids choose their own rewards and punishments, and they'll be harder on themselves than you are!

LOL! Glad you captured this one! Will need to keep the whole 'allow a child to choose their own discipline' when little Miss H gets older.
Happy practicing Freestone.
AND pick better prizes!
