    I love this lens! I toilet-trained my children using the star chart system. They were able to choose which stickers they liked best so they were able to be more a part of the whole process. It worked wonderfully. Except for the day I went into the bathroom and saw my son's chart full of every sticker he owned. :)

    Yes, I did, I believe rewards system can boost the child confidence and will try to do their best to get more rewards.

    What's amazing is that I've spent two summers in professional development training (I'm a teacher) and the current thought, at least where I was, is that you should never post anything like an achievement or goal chart anywhere. A few years ago, goal charts were advocated. So I say do what you think is right, you're probably more of an expert than most experts.

    I've used a variety of things over the years and change it up as needed. To me that is the key: being flexible enough to realize that one method isn't working anymore and being willing to use something new. Nice job on this, as always! :) Adding this to my lenses on parenting.

  • BabyMonitorsOnline Nov 16, 2011 @ 6:35 am | delete
    I personally think reward charts are an excellent idea. It teaches kids that they need to earn things and also teaches them about creating personal goals etc.
  • Mujjen Nov 14, 2011 @ 4:01 am | delete
    I used to give my daughter reward cards every time she finished her home-work without a fight! When she reached ten, I would give her a treat or gift. It worked very well at the time, now she doesn't need it anymore. I still make sure she gets rewarded for doing well with her work, and she is aware of why!
  • MindPowerProofs Nov 14, 2011 @ 1:11 am | delete
    It is really important to teach children how to set goals but it is harder to keep them motivated. A chart which they can see their success steps is the best way to remind them that they can do it. Great lens.

  • Lifeboost Nov 4, 2011 @ 9:23 am | delete
    Fabulous lens. I believe that using reward charts prepares a child for success in life. Working towards goals for rewards is what a successful career is about, it's what successful relationships, health and all other aspects of life are about. Even volunteering is rewarded - although the person is not doing it for monetary payment, they're doing it for the emotional, social and spiritual rewards. :)

  • PrepareToBloom May 20, 2011 @ 4:44 pm | delete
    One suggestion: Don't wait a long time to do the rewarding. Ensure the rewarding is done right after the behavior so that the child knows very well that the reward is tied to the positive behavior.
  • Link2 May 15, 2011 @ 6:19 am | delete
    We love everything about your lens! We've mainly used reward charts with smiley faces, but sometimes we have a sticker page and get to pick out our own design. We also have used different colored stars on charts following a path as we've made progress and learned different things. (P.S. We love praise and rewards, doesn't everyone?) Thank you for sharing a great lens.

    Very good lens. We use almost the same system, but use a marble jar. Each time one of our children get a certain amount of marbles, they will get the prize behind it. Could be video game, a new movie, a new toy just something they want.

    We reward them once their chores are done, when they help when not asked. When all homework is done...many different things.

    It has been very successful in our family. The chart idea is great and I would recommend it to any parent. Thank you for sharing!!

    This Is A Great Lens. These Reward/Star Charts Would Work A Treat For Kids. Will Have To Use This One.
  • daoine Sep 27, 2010 @ 1:34 am | delete
    I have to offer a different opinion: B.F. Skinner's Behaviourism theories (which he came at by rewarding lab rats, not children) have been debunked. The risk of star charts and the like is that the child will only "perform" when there is a reward up for grabs. I highly recommend the books of Alfie Kohn, partcularly Unconditional Parenting and Punished by Rewards.
  • Pastiche Oct 3, 2010 @ 11:34 am | delete
    I agree that with some children there is a problem using a star chart as a performance tool. I prefer to use them as a way to teach kids to be organized or to track their success at reaching self-set goals. Some kids need more structure than others ... but no child should be a trained performer, for sure.

    I love the principles behind reward charts, it not only develops independance in carrying out tasks, but responsibility, my daughter used to love a reward chart, only to see how many "stars" she could collect. I worked in a school for children with behavioural difficulties and regularly worked at home on their reward charts, she wanted one too. It was great fun.

    Nice lens. We used one of these for getting our toddler used to sleeping in his own bed (a racing car). The problem though, is if they like the star chart so much they want to get out of bed to play with it! Potty training time soon, so we will probably use it again. Wish us luck!

    We got a magnetic star chart for our kids, and it really worked a treat! Everything from potty training to eating veggies. When they earned a star, we found that it worked best to let them pick a color and stick it on to the chart themselves. I think it gave them a sense of ownership over their accomplishments!

    Great Lens ! I may consider doing a star chart for my kid this year, a great way to encourage good values and practices among the young's

    Star Charts. I remember back when I was much younger that I'd boast around our house every time I got a star on my paper. The star seems to be the source of pride and fulfillment for children. Likewise it pushes them to work harder and strive to earn another star. Great lens!

    Star charts seem like a good idea but I have found that they often have a negative effect on the kids with the least stars. When stars are used by children to reward themselves for goals that they have set themselves, I find that they work very well, offering a visual reminder of all that he or she has accomplished.

    What a great lens. 5 stars! I also lenrolled and posted to the discovery tool for my lens, which would surely be a warning to parents if they didn't follow your advice... :D Effective Time Management... or How to Fail Completely. Thanks! SoyCandleLover-Maker

    great resource here! a well deserved 5 stars.
    What I'd like to see is some info/examples of when and how you reward and what the prize is after getting a certain number of stickers for example. Do you take away something for not doing a chore or behaving badly or do you just focus on positive rewarding?
    thanks for the great lens.

    When I saw the title -- star charts for kids -- I was thinking as in horoscope or astrology. Positive reinforcement is such an important element in ALL of our lives -- start with kids and continue through adults and senior citizens to give us meaning and define our purpose.

    This is a great storehouse of charts for children. I love that there are so many great options right at your fingertips! Thanks!

    My parents always had chores and assignments for us. It felt good to be part of a family and know I'd accomplished something. I'm all for these ideas!

    I own my home daycare and I am a huge supporter when it comes to finding ways to encourage our children.

    My wife designed what we call a Tractor Chart since our son is SO into John Deere. It really works wonders.
