ticket systems
This ticket system has been a life saver for our family of 12!
Have you ever seen the object lesson with the ping pong balls and rice? You take a mason jar, fill it with ping pong balls and then filling all the cracks with rice. Then you take all the contents of the jar out and separate the balls from the rice in two different bowls and give them to a child and tell them to fit all the balls and rice into the jar. As long as they didn’t see how you did it in the first place, they won’t be able to get it all to fit.
The balls represent the important things that must be accomplished everyday. The rice represents all the extra fun stuff we hope to be able to accomplish.
For some reason the lesson holds true.
When you get the important things in your day taken care of first, there’s always plenty of time left for the fun.
Every couple years I teach this object lessons to my kids. They love this lesson and have seen the wisdom of it work in their lives.
Schedules help our children identify what the ping pong balls in their daily lives are and keep them on track to have them in the jar in time. The earlier their schedules are complete the more rice they know they can fit into their day and they love having the power to determine that.
Schedules give us the gift of more time.
