Hi, Kip. So I'm just getting around to reading this now, and I believe your approach is actually brilliant, though it didn't work out the greatest this time around.

I wish I had been using this approach when my kids were younger. I did however learn to use it later in life. I think that peace work is actually the most equitable and most motivating way to approach any employer employee type task or situation.

Had the boy child not been distracted by the VR game, the motivation factor would have enabled him to do the task and to excel at it far better than anything else.

In particular, far better than paying him by the hour or by the whole job.

So, despite the spare results, please don't give up that approach. Peace work is the way to go.😃
