Reward
charts are most effective when you work on one or two behaviours
at a time. |
|
|
Review
the pictures of the behaviour you are trying to achieve with
your child during a calm period. Make sure they understand,
and explain the reward that they will receive. |
|
|
Offering
rewards during bad behaviour gives the wrong idea. |
|
|
Make
sure the goal is attainable or children will be left frustrated.
For example, tasting a new food at mealtime might be worthy
of a reward, while requiring the child to eat a new food at
mealtime, clean their plate and staying seated for the entire
meal might be unattainable. |
|
|
Hang
the appropriate Reward Chart in a location near where the
behaviour usually takes place, at eye level to the child if
it is safe to do so. |
|
|
Attaching
a picture of your child to the chart may help motivate them. |
|
|
When
your child does the desired behaviour, reward them with a
sticker for their chart. |
|
|
Make
sure everyone who cares for your child is on board with the
plan. |
|
|
Rewards
should never be taken away once earned. |
|
|
Your
children's finished Reward Charts make a great addition to
a scrapbook! |
