Don't know how everybody else does it, but we had 2 jars - one happy jar, one sad jar. Put pieces of pasta (or in our case marbles actually) in the happy jar for good behaviour and in the sad jar for bad. This could happen any number of times per day. We started with something like 25 marbles. When all those had been put into jars, the marbles swopped between jars. When all the marbles were in the happy jar, there was a "prize" (new toy). HTH.
