Forget the naughty corner, a young mother has found an ingenious solution to stop her two-year-old daughter from misbehaving.
The Australian woman purchased a wooden money box from Kmart for $7 – and she added a different chore to each compartment.
The household tasks include ‘clean up toys, washing, feed animals, go potty, make bed and wash car’.
Taking to a parenting group on Facebook, the mother shared her parenting hack after the efficient system worked like a treat.

‘My $7 money box has been a life saver,’ she explained.
‘My little two-year-old is going through a stage where nothing works and I have tried nearly everything and she is just being really naughty.
‘but someone cleaned up all her toys and fed the cats with basically no arguments tonight.
‘And if she started being naughty I told her that her money would have to go in the bin. She didn’t like that.’

The mother explained when her daughter does misbehave, she make her take the money out of the hard-earned box, and put it into the ‘naughty jar’.
‘But I’m gonna do up a naughty jar she has to put money in for the really bad times out of her money box so she learns not to be naughty,’ she said.
‘And no matter what jar once it gets full it will go into her account. But once her money box gets full she has to save half and put in her account and she can choose to save the other half or put it towards her favourite toy etc.
‘Least she learns how to save. Hopefully count once she is a little more older as well. Winning.’
Other parents have been sharing the same money box they purchased from Kmart – using it to as a way to give pocket money to their children
She was praised for her clever creation – and wanted to clarify that her daughter is just two years old so her mother does most of the chores.
‘P.S she is two. So no she doesn’t do all these jobs on her own, mummy does probably 80 per cent at the moment,’ she said.
‘And everything but toys and potty isn’t forced. Trying to toilet train and toys are getting out of control…’
