Incentive chart


Want your kid to do something? Use this idea! We used to have such a hard time getting Caroline to eat and obviously nap time was always a battle. So her Mommy came up with a little chart to help her along. Eat breakfast...get a star, eat lunch...get a star, Take a nap...get a star, eat dinner...get a star, use the potty all day with no accidents...get a star. 5 stars = a trip to the treasure box (which Tony loaded up with awesome toys). Let me just tell you that this system has worked for us...big time! Wish I would have done it sooner. So maybe my education and time as a teacher had some benefit in my new job of mommyhood! :)

Much more fun to have a positive system as opposed to "fussing" all the time! Good idea!!! :)
