Daddy's Little Girl

Again, Merry Christmas to all the lovely littles. I hope you were spoiled rotten today as you deserve.
 
I was thinking tonight what a gift it is to have people who understand that 'little' is an attitude, not an ability.

Okay. So. Whether you’re a little without a CG (caregiver) or a CG who has no idea how to care for a little, odds are you’ve at some point had trouble figuring out a point system that works! This is the one I used when I was a little and may use again when I find a little!

There are a few categories. Each category allows you to earn a certain number of points.

Sleeping:

8+ hours = 10 points

7-6 hours = 8 points

5 hours = 5 points

4 hours = 2 points

-4 = 0 points

Eating: (Note: To be considered a meal there has to be some sort of veggie, grain, and protein!)

Ate 3 meals = 10 points

Ate 2 meals = 5 points

Ate 1 meal = 2 points

Drinking Water

8 glasses = 10 points

7-6 glasses = 8 points

5 glasses = 5 points

4 glasses = 2 points

-4 glasses = 1 point

0 glasses = 0 points

Other: (This category should be tailored to fit you individually! I’ll include mine as an example though.)

Did homework = 8 points

Room was clean at the end of the day = 5 points

Showered = 1 point

Washed face twice = 3 points

Brushed teeth twice = 3 points

Exercised or danced = 3 points

Read a chapter of a book = 1 point per chapter

You’re supposed to aim for a certain number of points a day. Like, 30 points is good, but 40 points is great! If you reach that, you can cash it in for small treats, or you can go the extra mile and get 250-300 points total for the week!

Rewards:

Extra desert = 40 points

Pack of stickers = 40 points

New stuffie = 100 points

New coloring book = 100 points

New onsie/diaper/binkie= 300 points

The points for the rewards are set really high so that rewards still feel special, and you don’t have to break the bank, haha.

I hope this helps someone out there! Best wishes!
 
Maybe... just maybe... yeah.
*whispers excitedly* he can call himself anything he wants, but I think he's got it.

I like the idea of a reward system for anything needing doing. They're wonderfully flexible.

Currently, my tasks might look like this:

getting in bed by ten
taking my meds on time
shaving my legs*
tidy my knicker drawer
making a dr's/dentist appointment
texting my dad
ask for a hug from one of my older kids

And rewards like this:

paint my nails
learn five new words in French
do one yoga segment on my dvd
eat a piece of dark chocolate
take a nap
sit and listen to music for 15 minutes
take a bubble bath
light a smelly candle and enjoy a cup of tea
sit in a quiet place and dream about my future

Rewards can be listed in a notebook and crossed off as they are chosen to ensure I'm not just eating chocolate all day long. :D I also like the idea of a reward basket filled with little treats to make my heart sing - a new keychain, nail polish, lip gloss, earrings, CD/movie/book from Goodwill. The basket can be brought out to celebrate a productive week, or making it through a difficult day, whatever. You'll notice that both my tasks and rewards are 'self-care' items. The difference is usually that there is some unpleasant or challenging aspect about the tasks, such as having to ask for others to meet a need.

Daddy-specific rewards: a new pic, voice clip, video message, snail mail, etc.

*I added shaving as a goal not because Daddy gives a hoot, but because I tend to neglect doing the things that make me feel pretty out of a sense of unworthiness.

I read the "points" post with a dreamy sigh, thinking I would enjoy something like that with a daddy. I hadn't thought of it in terms of self care! I love this! I am going to create a list and put it in action. Thanks, Honey and MrTenant!

Woohoo!:cattail:

I don't like points. I'm not mathy. :D

After years of taking care of everyone around me, Daddy and I agree that i need to prioritize putting on my own proverbial life jacket before trying to help others with theirs. I think a lot of women struggle with this, for obvious reasons.
 
Thank you, Mr. T and Miss Honey!

We do. We are the 'care giver' and put others first many times, as it should be. But, then we forget ourselves, or we're tired. Habits are hard to break.

These 'point system' ideas have been very helpful and encouraging!

Yes. I agree and thank them both as well. I loved reading both lists and I'm going to take a page out of Honey's book :heart:

Care...

Days come and go, wants and needs will always change.
Dry hacks and pained sound ring, a horrible din compared to her usual cheer.
"Sweet One... What's wrong? What can I do to help?"

She looks up and tries to smile, but I can see the pain in her eyes.
Straining to speak and show her usual enthusiasm, she falters and groans.
"Daddy... I'm sick. I'm so sorry I don't want to be a sick girl for you..."

Her eyes once laced with pain now betray fear and and anxiety.
Hushed murmurs as I examine, my eyes missing nothing as I search for her ills.
"Sweet One, you seem feverish, and hoarse. A common bug. Nothing for you to be ashamed of. Nothing you could prevent."

Her eyes relax ever so slightly as she draws a deep breath.
Hearing my words have soothed her mind, but cannot ease her discomfort.
"But Daddy, I can't be what I need to be with you like this... I can't serve..."

A finger slides to my mouth, a gentle sound to call for her silence.
Astutely I draw myself up, and return in a moment, carrying her objects of comfort.
Affectionately I address her applying everything I can. Her Dominant I am, but only after I give her my care and devotion.
"Here is your blanket, your medicine and your dinner. As much as you serve me, I serve you... That is our covenant."
