My 3.5 year old just filled up a smaller (6 boxes) behavior chart I made last week for staying in her bed and not crying at school for two days! She earned a small prize, and I felt overall it went pretty well so I made another one with 25 boxes. She commented that it was a a lot of boxes, but I want her to get into a nice groove with what she was doing before earning something again. I think for her this really works, and I'm hoping she can be successful and fill up all 25 boxes!

@Bao: yay no crying for 2 days - that's awesome!!
I will say going from 6 to 25 is a HUGE leap - maybe do 10 instead? You don't want her to get discouraged if it takes too long to get 25
-
@Mamaof2: ok that's a good point. I was thinking if she were successful and earned her 2 stickers a day it would go quick and id be up for buying another prize lol. But she got out of her room a few times this weekend....ill knock it down a bit! And yes after Christmas break she was just fine...I probably stood there with my mouth open far too long as she just walked into class. She was a little clingy today but didn't cry.

I really like this idea! We are dealing with rough school drop-offs, so maybe my 2-year-old will like something like this?
-
@avivoca: doesn't hurt to try! My LO is so stubborn I'm surprised it worked for her. I know some people side eye a toy as a reward but it works and takes a lot of stress off me.

My kids are working on a behavior chart. They only have to get 10 in order to get a "blind bag" that they saw on youtube. They have been working on it since Christmas, it's going pretty slow!
-
@T-Mom: whats a blind bag?
-
@Mamaof2: It's like one of those like foil or plastic bags where it has a little figurine in it, but you don't know what it is until you open it. Which is infuriating because if you are collecting Thomas figures, e.g., you don't know if you already have that one until you open it. (well there is a way to know, but you have to know the coding system that is printed on the bag, etc....)
-
@T-Mom: ok so you know the character in the bag "Thomas" but wont know if its percy or Thomas or someone else?
-
@Mamaof2: Yeah, the bags are usually themed, like My Little Pony, Shopkins, Thomas, etc. But it's a surprise which particular character in the series you get.
-
@T-Mom: gotcha!
