How to lose your device for 1 week!

 We like to think of our parenting style as being somewhere in the middle. We try not to be overly strict or overbearing. We try not to let the kids rule the roost either. But we enjoy raising our little brood to understand that there are consequences in life. Consequences for every little decision they make or do not make. We usually leave the choice up to them, with the understanding that they have to live with their decision.

So this morning we found ourselves needing a new consequence, in writing, for some poor decisions.

They could be up to no good while not doing their homework, not studying for a test or choosing to not put away their clean clothes, this time. Lucky for us, they are just off reading survival books, tidying up their fairy gardens, dressing up the pets or sneaking the iPad away to watch the 'voice' on YouTube that shows you how to make clothes for your Barbie doll out of PlayDough! Nevertheless leaving little paths of destruction where ever they may go like Hansel & Gretel. (Certain little girls do that more than a certain big boy!)

However, that pesky thing called homework must be done! And if I have one more piece of clothing added to my pile here of clean clothes to fold today, I may end up throwing those silly devices in the canal!

So Cameron Kids be warned!!!
