I'm Done I'm SOOO Over It

I am so over arguing with Samantha every day. I am tired of getting upset and handing out whippins and timeouts. It's just not getting us anywhere. I am not saying she is the worst kid in the World, but she is most definitely a 2 year old. She has a smart mouth mostly. That is her problem. And she honestly does things from spite. She told me that. So, thanks to Maria :)p , we are stepping back and starting over with positive reinforcement. We are going to add things though. We aren't just going to praise her, because that wasn't working anymore once she got a bit older. (But we will continue to do that too.) We are using a Good Behavior Chart that I personalized and printed off the internet. I have researched and researched and found a lot about rewards as discipline being believed to make children materialistic. So we decided not to give her any material rewards like toys or money. We are doing things like watching an extra show or special snacks. Which reminds me, we also started her on a new schedule. So that Jessie and I can have some time together at night. We have bath, bedtime story, and bed at 10:00 pm. I turn on her Baby Music, give her some milk, and rub her back. Then she wakes up at 9:00 am. This is only our second day, and I can already see a difference in her. It is easier to get her down for a nap, and she is easier to get up in the mornings. I introduced the chart this morning, and she immediately started acting different. She cleaned up her toys without me asking and has done everything I asked all day. She already has two stickers. I am hoping this continues to work because things are going so much smoother. I will be doing this with my little brother also on Tuesdays and Thursday when I have him, hoping that they will both be better behaved and things will go better. I am looking for more ideas on things I can do also, so anything helps. :)
