If you need to motivate your child to do right, a reward chart is a good
start. However, it would be good to teach the child to do right
from the heart
and not just because she/he will "get something out of it". There is a
saying though, "what gets rewarded, gets repeated". I have created a
Reward Chart for my kids with the areas that they are currently
struggeling in. There are many areas they struggle in that I put on the
chart, but I don't want to overwhelm them. So I choose the 'worst' that
need dealing with a.s.a.p as in, bad attitude, ungratefulness,
selfishness, disrespect, disobidience etc and then turn those into '
happy heart, sharing is caring, no back-chatting, instant obidience'...
So far so good!
