Featured Review

Mumbucks The Motivating Reward System for Kids www.mumbucks.co.uk

Reviewed Pamela Wright

To be honest I had never heard of

Mumbucks before so was quite

intrigued when I was chosen to

write a review about them.

I have 5 children, 8 year old, 6 year old, 4 year old and 3 year old twins,

as you can imagine sometimes life can be pretty busy and challenging.

In the past I have been on a parenting course which I thought would be

beneficial as it could help me “tweak my parenting lifestyle” to make it

more positive and bring out the best in our family which did work quite

a lot and showed me how to use reward charts during this, although

they were good there was no real “reward” and was a bit hit and miss

and undecided.

When I received my Mumbucks pack I was quite excited. I opened it

and read the information sheet that comes with it. When the eldest 2

children came home from school I explained the Mumbucks to them.

We sat down and agreed what each Mumbuck would be worth. As a

family we agreed each “Mumbuck” was worth 25p in cash or worth a

“trade in treat” i.e. 1 Mumbuck equals 15 minutes on the ipad/laptop

or they can put them all together and 5 Mumbucks will get them a

movie night (i.e. popcorn/dvd). Being a mum of 5 children I worked out

in my head that although I want them to earn Mumbucks for good

behaviour etc… I needed to “cap it off” so I didn’t need a bank loan at

the end of each week. I therefore worked out that they could each

earn a maximum of 10 Mumbucks each week (which if they trade them

all in for cash it £2.50 per child each week).

Because my children range from 3 to 8 years old and there are 5 of

them each at different stages in life I decided that although each

Mumbuck has the same value I would make their targets more specific

to them. The chart in the pack gave me an idea of what kind of things

to pick so I decided on weekly rewards/targets of:

Each of them have to put away their own things after school, for the

younger 3 it was simply putting their coats/shoes/hats away in their

bedroom and for the eldest 2 it was putting coats/shoes/hats away

where they belong plus emptying their packup boxes for me and

passing me any info I need from their school book bags and putting the

bags neatly away in the drawer (5 Mumbucks weekly per child max).

We also decided with the eldest 2 if they ate enough of their lunch

through the week they would receive 2 Mumbucks (2 Mumbucks

weekly per child max).

If they keep their bedroom tidy through the week or if they do a proper

tidy up at the weekend they will get 2 Mumbucks each (2 Mumbucks

weekly per child max).

If they get a special achievement/do really well/have been really well

behaved or do something outstanding then they get 2 bonus

Mumbucks (2 Mumbucks weekly per child max).

Because I have 5 children I did a reward chat with removable stickers

that started Monday and then Sunday morning we counted their

stickers and swapped them to their Mumbucks. My eldest 2 have a

purse for theirs and have decided to keep them this week to trade for

time on their dad’s laptop playing games.

I really saw the benefit of the Mumbucks at the weekend as I asked the

children to tidy their bedroom – my eldest refused to in her sulky

manner so rather than try my usual blackmail technique I simply said –

that’s fine don’t worry about it – but just think of the Mumbucks you’re

missing out on. I’ve never seen her move to quick!!! Hahahahahaha…

I think this is a fantastic idea as the parents win as they get the good

behaviour but the children feel like they are in control too as they get

to decide what they want to use their Mumbucks for. Although we

have only had them in our house for 1 week it is definitely a winner.

RRP: £14.99

Rating: 5/5

Mumbucks are available to buy from www.mumbucks.co.uk.

Featured Article Did You Make a New Year’s Resolution?

Written by David Savage

Christmas has been and gone and

we are now in to a new year. Now

all the partying has finished and the hangovers worn off, did

you make a New Year’s Resolution and will you stick to it?

I personally do not believe in making a New Year’s Resolution –

traditionally making a promise to do something to improve

yourself or to give up doing something like smoking, drinking

etc… I believe that if I want to make a change I will do so no

matter what the time of year, but millions of people wait until

New Year and feel they must come up with something to do

which generally doesn’t last long (about 90% of people do not

stick to their New Year promise).

So if you have made a New Year promise is it something you

realistically have a chance of achieving? For example, if you

have promised to give up smoking or drinking, is it really

something you want to do or are you doing it because you feel

you must? Unless it is something you are really determined to

do you will fail.

Everybody has some sort of habit that they would like to change or improve but unless you have the desire and a plan in place to do it then what is the point of your New Year promise? New Year, New You – if you live by this then make a New Year’s resolution that is easy to achieve, this will make you feel better about yourself rather that feeling bad when you fail with a promise you had no desire to do anyway. If you have vowed to stop smoking, for example, don’t just say you are going to stop and then not smoke for a few days but go to the doctor or smoking clinic and get a treatment plan to help you give up. Sites like www.smokefree.nhs.uk have very helpful information. But as I have already said, if you wanted to change something in

your life you would already be doing it and not waiting until

1st January which is probably why most resolutions fail.

So if you have made a New Year’s resolution let us know what it

is and how you are getting on and we will try and publish some

here next month.

If you have made one, we wish you every luck in trying to

achieve your desired goal.

Theatre Land

The Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Tours of them all….

Bill Kenwright and Laurie Mansfield present

THREE STEPS TO HEAVEN GENE VINCENT AND EDDIE COCHRAN

WINTER DANCE PARTY Director and Musical Producer Keith Strachen

TOURING TO OXFORD, BIRMINGHAM, WIMBLEDON & WINDSOR IN EARLY 2014

Rock ‘n’ Roll truly arrived in Britain in the late 50’s, but it was the legendary 1960 tour of American Superstars Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran that first gave British devotees a real – and legendary –opportunity to see (and to rock) with their idols. The world was devastated in 1959 by the tragic death of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens, as they travelled across America for The Winter Dance Party Tour, one of the many all-star Rock ‘n’ Roll packages that took the country by storm, and would go on to become a staple diet of Rock ‘n’ Roll tours in the UK. Now, on a UK tour with three separate concerts, Bill Kenwright and Laurie Mansfield will give audiences a chance to relive those two great tours - together with their own special tribute to two other greats who tragically made their way to “Rock ‘n’ Roll” heaven long before they should have…. The Greatest Rock ‘N’ Roll Tours will visit the New Theatre Oxford 7 – 11 January 2014, Alexandra Theatre Birmingham 13 – 18 January, New Wimbledon Theatre 20 – 25 January and Theatre Royal Windsor 3 – 8 February. Audiences can opt to see one, two or all three of the concerts at each venue during the week: one show at £25 per ticket, two shows at £20 per ticket, and all three at £15 per ticket.

Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran revisit their triumphant con-cert tour from the spring of 1960 when two American Super-stars bought a new high voltage genre of Rock ‘n’ Roll to the UK. Classic numbers include; C’mon Everybody, Three Steps to Heaven, Be-bop a-Lula, Race with the Devil, and many more –

and at the bottom of the bill songs from a few youngsters who were destined for Rock ‘n’ Roll greatness of their own, including Billy Fury and Joe Brown.

Winter Dance Party Arguably the most iconic tour in Rock ‘n’ Roll history, Winter Dance Party recreates Buddy Holly’s last historic concert! It’s 1959 and, recharged by a fresh band, Holly embarks on a tour playing 24 cities in three weeks, accompanied by rock legends The Big Bopper, Dion and the Belmonts and Ritchie Valens. Tragically the tour never finished - but audiences will have a change to relive this legendary event, with magical songs such as Rave On, Donna, Peggy Sue, Teenager in Love, Chantilly Lace, and so many more…

Three Steps to Heaven A tribute to the superstar Dream Team of Elvis, ‘The Big O’ (Roy Orbison) and Buddy Holly - performing the Concert they sadly never gave; a concert that would have been the biggest ever if fate had not played its ultimately cruel part in Rock ‘n’ Roll his-tory.
