[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 307077, member: 10"] Hi, I am not a fan of reward charts - they don't deal with the underlying problems or missing skills and in the long term extrinsic motivation undermines intrinsic motivation and kids loose interest . I prefer the explosive child [url]http://thinkkids.org[/url] If one is using a chart , I would follow these guidelines 1 make it very , very easy to earn points - what is important is the momentum 2 don't take off points 3 let the kid participate in setting up the system , make the extrinsic motivation self determined , not that you are trying to control him 4 focus on values behind the behaviors , procedures etc - the extrinsic motivation is to help the child with the goal of getting things done , living in harmony etc . When the focus is the reward , we just motivate kids to get more rewards. 5 Instead of rewards try give chores etc an association with fun , try to make what we ask engaging for the child.
