    This is the best Chore System around! After trying numerous methods, I am so happy that I found the Job Jar. My kids (5 and 6) love choosing jobs from the jar and are excited to do their chores and get points for rewards. We had our first family meeting and everyone was excited to "play"...even us parents are participating! Your wonderful chore system has helped our family be more of a team when it comes to getting the chores done. Thank you for creating such a fun and motivating system that takes the "work" out of our daily "jobs"...truly the best chore system around! I highly recommend the Job Jar! - CaraMia ... who lives in the enchanted Redwood Forest of Northern California

    As a time management expert, I have utilized, and believe in the efficacy of the Job Jar. Mara has constructed a masterpiece of visual instruction & organizational assistance for all who need help with organization. I have seen it used for all ages, not just juveniles. If I had to recommend one aid for reducing stress and conflict this would be it. Dr. Dean Russell, PhD, Organizational Effectiveness

  • A Prayer for Mom’s & Dad’s

    Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray my sanity to keep. For if some peace I do not find, I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind. I pray I find a little quiet Far from the daily family riot May I lie back -- not have to think about what they're stuffing down the sink, or who they're with, or where they're at and what they're doing to the cat. I pray for time all to myself (did something just fall off a shelf?) To cuddle in my nice, soft bed (Oh no, another goldfish -- dead!) Some silent moments for goodness sake (Did I just hear a window break?) And that I need not cook or clean -- (well heck, I've got the right to dream) Yes now I lay me down to sleep, I pray my wits about me keep, But as I look around I know -- I must have lost them long ago! - UCB Parents

A Parent’s Creed

cartoon children

Patience and diligence, like faith, remove mountains. - William Penn

If a child lives with criticism, he will learn to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he’ll learn how to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he’ll always be shy.
If a child lives with shame, he will always feel guilty.
However:
If a child lives with tolerance, he’ll learn the art of patience
If a child lives with encouragement, he will be confident.
If a child lives with praise, he’ll see the good in others.
If a child lives with fairness, he will learn justice.
If a child lives with security, in others he’ll have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he’ll learn to like himself.
If a child lives with respect, he’ll love his fellow-man.
