Simple rewards keep things in perspective. If you don't want to focus on rewards but still want to stay organized, check out our new chore schedule and chore chart templates. As they get older you can add more goals or chores to their chart. Don't work on more than a few things with young children. If you have a chart with too many goals, they can lose focus. Keeping the charts simple can help the child focus. This is a great chance to help kids' esteem and be uplifting. Parents and children are happier when the parents aren't in a constant state of nagging and disciplining.
One of the main reasons to have a rewards chart is to focus on positive rather than negative behavior.
