Here are two more charts-<\/p>\n

Behavior Chart<\/a> (to give positive\u00a0reinforcement to help decrease negative behavior)
\nMany times the reason children act out is for attention. If you can find ways to recognize and reward positive behavior, that will often help reduce the negative behavior.\u00a0 Using stickers or stamps on a chart like this one, is a simple way to do this.\u00a0 With a chart like this, it is best to keep the focus on positive behavior, therefore I do not recommend\u00a0taking away any stickers they have earned (as a punishment.)<\/p>\n

Ladder of Success <\/a>(to keep track of who has earned or lost what privileges)
\nI keep this on a\u00a0bulletin board in my family room. Each child has a different colored thumb tack\u00a0that I\u00a0move that\u00a0up or down based on their behavior.\u00a0The ladder style chart is based on\u00a0an idea\u00a0of the Dilley\u00a0Family (famous parents of sextuplets.) I figured\u00a0if it worked for them with six kids, it might work for me- and it has\u00a0for many years. \u00a0 You can make your own substituting the kinds of activities your kids enjoy. I realize that I made this before my daughter was born, because there are no Barbie’s or perler beads on there (which are some of her favorites.) Looks like\u00a0I might need to update mine.<\/p>\n

If you have any tools to help keep your family organized and learning positive behaviors, please share them with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
