How to use it
- "Be good" is vague, so pick one action, for example answering "yes" when called.
- Write the promise in a short sentence next to the chart.
- Start with 10 or 20 stamps.
Tips
- When asking, get down to eye level and ask for one thing at a time.
- Listen to your child's stories to the end too, so it is a two-way promise.
- Be specific: "You started tidying as soon as I asked!"
- On a missed day, never take a box away. Just try again.
