Sticker Charts

Anna just got her hair done and teeth brushed and was putting up the stickers she earned!

I started sticker charts for Anna and Jon this past week and have been very pleased with the results so far! Their daily chores/tasks are:
AM

Brush teeth

Brush hair (For Jon, this involves spraying his crazy bedhead down and combing; For Anna, this is not only brushing, but putting up)

PM

Pick up toys/ put clothes in hamper

Get Clean (Bath)

Brush teeth

Be HAPPY! (This was already on the chart; I don't think anyone can [or should]be required to be happy.)

So I am really only requiring the basics here; most of this stuff they have to do anyways, like brushing their teeth. It is just that it seems to be a more positive motivator for them (and me) then my nagging, (or on a bad day, yelling and making empty threats). At the end of the week, if their entire sticker chart is full, they get a small toy. We'll see how long this lasts!

I did a sticker chart with Maddy and after a certain amount of stickers, she'd earn a quarter and then when she earned 4 we'd hit the $ store!! worked great!

and I LOVE Anna's hair!!!
