Mallory is quite the stubborn child and seemed to be throwing more tantrums and getting more of an attitude lately. Time outs were not working at all, so we started a new Ticket Reward system. She gets one for doing things right and gets them taken away for doing things wrong. At the end of the day, if she has at least five, she gets to sit in our bed with us for a while before going to her bed. Surprisingly, this has worked really well. I think the best part of the system is that it forces you to point out the good along with the bad so you aren't constantly pointing out everything bad they do.
We also bought this responsibility magnet chart that we change week to week. She loves setting the table, feeding the dog, and brushing her teeth now :)
Who knows how long it will last, but I'm going to keep using it until it stops working and then try something new!
