Personalised Reward Charts help good behaviour and potty training in children

Personalised Reward Charts for Children! Promote good behaviour.



You are probably aware of what children"��s reward charts are. The most popular is the potty training reward chart, used to help encourage your child about how to use the potty, rewarding them for the correct behaviour and allowing them to see their progress and strive to achieve their goals.



Reward charts are recommended by many leading child experts as a great way to promote good behaviour. They have been featured on many TV child documentaries, each time showing success, turning a little monster into a little angel.



Supernanny is probably the most well known promoter of the reward chart, along with the naughty step, these reality documentaries have shown the improvement of behaviour in a very short time. Children are encourages and supported along their journey, and setting clear boundaries helps them understand what is right and what is wrong. Most bad behaviour comes when children know they can push boundaries with one parent, and then play off the other. It is a very subconscious process, but one they seem to be very good at! Referring them back to their reward chart constantly reminds them of their responsibilities.

But did you know you can get personalised reward charts? These can have an added benefit over traditional charts, by giving ownership of that chart to your child. With a personalised reward chart, you can have your child"��s name and photo included. This shows them that this is their chart, and only they can influence the progress of the chart with their own actions. Good behaviour, and they get an extra sticker, and a step closer to their reward!



Reward charts can also be task based over a 7 day period. Assign a daily chore to each task, and tick them off as your child progresses through the week.



Milestone reward charts allow your child to either move forward, or backward depending on good or bad behaviour. These are specifically beneficial for older children where they are able to understand the consequences of bad behaviour.



Reward charts are re-usable and can last for many years, they can be adapted to include chores as children grow up.



With younger children, why not join in yourself? Let mummy and daddy have their own reward chart, they can get stickers for things like cooking the dinner, washing up, cleaning their teeth. This helps children accept the process and encourages them to join in. A reward chart should be seen as a way of guiding children to behave and achieve goals, not as a strict regime to which they must follow. Naturally, there will always be good days and bad days. Sometimes stressful situations should be taken into consideration, such as moving house, difficulties at school. Naughty behaviour often has underlying issues which should also be addressed as they can often be more serious.



Personalised reward charts are a fantastic way to help promote good behaviour in your child. With encouragement, they get a sense of achievement, and a reward which they know they have earned themselves!
