Download and print this free reward chart which encourages kids to Listen & Be Good. Ten good deeds equals one reward.<\/p>\n

\"printable<\/p>\n

I have a rambunctious four year old, sometimes she is delightful, most of the time she is challenging. She’s four, it’s her job I suppose.<\/p>\n

After a year of resisting (even though it was recommended) I’ve implemented a reward chart. Turns out the stick method doesn’t really work with Emma, it also makes this household a stressful yelly full of drama place, so we are trying the carrot instead.<\/p>\n

Most of the charts I found online were quite specific with days or chores, I wanted something very simple because I don’t ask for much – just listen and be good.<\/p>\n

I’ve created my own printable reward chart<\/strong>, go ahead and print yourself out a copy if you think it may work for you.<\/p>\n

Emma’s carrot is, getting to play on the iPad for a little while, or an ice cream, her choice.<\/p>\n

iPad and ice cream are the only thing that will motivate the kid to do anything, so rather than use them as a bribe (which was really a prize for seeing how quickly mum could be worn down).<\/p>\n

I’m hoping she’ll appreciate them more as a reward.<\/p>\n

Ideally some of the behaviour that earns a stamp will stick around, well we can only hope.
\nEvery time she listens to me and does what I ask first time round, she gets a stamp.<\/p>\n

Ten stamps = one reward<\/strong>. Pretty easy right? We’ll see.<\/p>\n

So far so good, although she asked where the iPad was several times today, so it may take a few days for her to understand the system.<\/p>\n

Also another quite amusing happening after the chart went up was watching Emma’s problem solving skills going into over drive to find a loop hole.<\/p>\n

KID LOGIC: If I stamps all the circles, I can get a reward right now! She felt a little cheated when I told her it’s not how that works.<\/p>\n

One chart on her bedroom door, where she sticks her artwork, and another on the fridge.
\nNow it’s up to me to follow thought. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n
