Reward chart

Some time ago, my brother got Claire this responsibility chart and I set it aside knowing Claire wasn't quite ready for it. Recently, I pulled it out and started using it and it has been working very well so far. It is a lot of pre-printed "goals" and even a few blank ones to write your own.

Initially, I really thought this might help with the "objections" I sometimes get for things such as getting dressed, brushing her teeth, getting ready for bed, etc. She can earn a magnet beside that task for that day by doing these things when asked without any drama! She also earns a magnet for tasks she doesn't seem to mind doing, like setting the table, making her bed and picking up her toys. After getting ready for bed (since that's one of the magnets she can earn) and just before our bedtime story and prayers, we go visit her chart to see how she has done that day. I am still working out a few kinks, but so far it seems to be motivating to her.
