The Power of a Reward Chart

When it comes to raising kids, there are a million different opinions out there on the best way to do things. But when it comes to discipline, one tool that has stood the test of time is the good old-fashioned reward chart. Here’s a quick guide on how to use a reward chart with your kids!

The basic premise is simple: you set some goals with your child (for example, staying in bed all night or cleaning up their toys), and then every time they reach that goal, they get x points Once they’ve collected enough points, they earn a prize. 

Of course, every family is different, so feel free to tailor the system to fit your needs. For example, you might want to set a daily goal instead of weekly, or give out a small prize for every x points instead of waiting until they’ve collected the final goal. The important thing is that your child feels motivated to reach their goals.
