Our DS will be 3 at the end of August and is acting out since his baby brother arrived 3 weeks ago. He is being very physical (hitting us parents and baby brother) and is naughty in general. I'd like to start some sort of positive reinforcement/ rewards system. I teach middle school and find this to work well, but I need some toddler age appropriate ideas from you! Thanks in advance!

We're going to do a "caught ya doing something nice" jar when we get home from my parents next week. Obeying, helping, being polite earns a Pom Pom for the jar and she gets to pick a treat from my box when it's full. We've been talking about it this week ("would this get you a Pom Pom?") and she seems keen.

We use a sheet with a bunch of ten frames that I printed. He has chores that he earns a sticker for (feed dog, put clothes in the hamper, pick up toys) but we also give him a sticker randomly for things we are trying to enforce- staying in bed for example. When he gets to 10, he goes to the treasure chest. Using ten frames because I teach kinder math intervention and understanding how to make a ten is an important concept.

@Alba4: @tinyperson: we also did pom poms and they worked really well - its a fun visual as you watch the jar fill with colorful pom poms!
