Are you having difficulty motivating your child? Are you having issues with your child’s behavior? Or are you looking for ways to teach your child a sense of responsibility and accountability?
My question to you is this, “Have you ever considered reward or behavior charts?”
As parents, we ask ourselves these questions everyday and everyday we hope and pray that these questions will be answered. However, we fail to realize
that as parents we must be set the stage to encourage and motivate our children to display proper behavior, be responsible, contribute to the family unit and be accountable for their actions. By charting expected behaviors and tasks, setting goals and rewarding your child for a job well done, you are setting up expectations and holding your child accountable for achieving them.
Reward and behavior charts are amazing tools for parents and teachers alike. They help their children set goals, give them the steps they need to achieve
those goals and reward them for reaching their goals. These charts can be used for anything from potty training, to chores; to homework to good behavior … if you have a goal, there is a chart for you. Since most children are visual learners, these charts are a great way for children to see their progress.
There are websites that offer FREE reward and behavior charts where you can customize and print charts based on age as well as specific areas of interest. These websites also offer valuable tools for both parents and teachers such as reward stickers, reward dollars, incentives and much, much more.
