Tonight I presented the idea to the staff and children at group home 1. It was a definite mixed review. The children were very smart in their thinking. Here are some of the questions they asked:
What if we make one mistake, what will happen - will we be out of the challenge?
How many mistakes can we make in one day? How about two mistakes per day?
How can we keep track of our mistakes, could we put a sticker on our level sheet?
I don't think its fair if we loose our challenge and our level in one day for one mistake, even if its a serious mistake.
It feels a little like a bribe to me. Could you talk more about what you are really challenging us to do?
What if we cheat - make a mistake that no one saw, and just don't tell anyone?
So. now the children are going to take a week or two to practice and think about whether or not they want to take the challenge or not.
Would you be able to take the challenge? Could you be positive for 21 days?
