Dylan's Star Chart


The wonderful day came...Dylan filled up his entire chart with stars. He earns stars for 1. Being a good helper, 2. Keeping his pants dry all night long, and 3. Eating his food well. So it was off to the Dollar Store for us. Dylan understood that he got to pick any toy he wanted - but just one. He did great picking just the right toy and ended up with this ball gun with four balls. Loads of fun!!

First thing this morning he made sure I printed out a new chart and he was doing whatever he could do to earn stars. He's never been so willing to clean the house with me. What a good helper!! He earns stars for 1. Being a good helper, 2. Keeping his pants dry all night long, and 3. Eating his food well.

Way to go, Daddy, for coming up with the great idea of the chart!

Sounds like it works! I'll have to try that, there's nothing like positive reinforcement!
