"On Sunday during singing time, I had the names of songs written on Ziploc sandwich bags which were blown up and sealed.  Once we had the song ready for singing in sacrament meeting, I chose someone who had been participating well to come up and stomp on the bag.  I thought Camden looked like he really wanted to stomp a bag and so I called him up.  He came to the front, hesitated a minute, stepped gently on the bag and said that he needed help.  He chose Janet to help him stomp on it.  It made me smile to see him notice someone else who wanted to participate and giving up his turn for her.  Just thought you’d like to know."

A certain child of mine has been having trouble "staying on task," and has been "talking back" to his leaders at Scouts. So. I decided that we'd treat him like the small little boy he was acting like and send a scorecard with him. If it's bad news when he gets home? No video games.
