Reward Charts?

[LolaBellsAllTheWay]

HI, so if you use them how do you use them?

Do you focus on one are in particular? IE I'm trying to combat the night wakings so should I just focus on sleep or should I add in a few other tasks as not to make a huge deal of the sleep? I was thinking teethbrushing, potty training, tidying?

What do you do for rewards?

Do you have consequences?

Do certain tasks get immediate rewards or do you make them build up stars and they can trade them in at end of the week?

I should say DD1 is 2.3yo so still a bit young but I think she'd get the concept.

My kids are 7 9 and 10. We have a star chart. When they get 20 stars they get £10:00
The stars can be earned for any good behaviour, eg putting toys away, being kind, good drawing, good school work, but they also can lose stars! eg fighting, being rude etc. It works for us, and we are not the perfect family!!!

Thinking of doing it! DS1 is 5 and is horrible!

I'd say 2 is too young.
Mine are much older but I had most success with these when they were between 5 and 9 when they are very keen to please and are able to remember the chart and stay motivated.
At 2 I'd just stick with little treats or rewards for small achievements.
You know the things she likes to do, just use something as an extra such as a special or favourite story or game.

My DCS are 8 and 10 and we have used a star chart for a number of years started when they were 4 and 6. We often change the rewards, as they are very good at saving birthday money so linking stars to pocket money became less of an incentive.

I have also changed what they receive stars for over the years,when they were younger it use to be brushing teeth without being reminded, tidying bedroom, reading every night.

Now they are rewarded for completing homework, helping out around the house without being asked. They can also loose stars for unacceptable behaviour. The current incentive is for minutes on the internet (on selected sites) seems to be working well at the moment.
