Adyson chart

Adyson will be 5 years old in February. She will start school in August. So it's time for the behavior and chore chart. I found pictures to match the behavior or chore I would like her to complete. 

ADYSONS CHART-

There is no whining/crying- we've been having the issue lately of crying/whining when asked not to do something, or when being told no. So trying to stay positive in 2014, I want to reward good behavior! 

Eating-(you'll see breakfast, lunch and dinner listed on chart) Adyson has the issue of not eating. She fidgets, talks, "I'm not hungry".... Etc... We have to set timers, threaten, it justs makes meal time the most frustrating times of the day. So from now on it is what it is, if you don't eat then you don't get a sticker, no more negotiations. 

Brushing teeth- She's still excited to brush her teeth, but she ASKED for a sticker for this, so what harm is there in giving her a sticker for what she loves doing! 

Learning- We try to learn something everyday. Whether it's a letter, number, math, but something. So if she can sit and focus and learn then there needs to be a reward! 

Cleaning up- I usually let Adyson play where ever and we clean up before bath. That means no fussing about doing it either. Clean up means ALL the toys from  everywhere in the house get picked up and put where they belong. Not thrown somewhere! Also her room gets cleaned too! 

Bath time- We've been having a problem with Adyson and getting water all over everything! Floor, toilet, sink, walls, floor mats get soaked. I'm tired of cleaning and drying the bathroom EVERY DAY. So hopefully the positive of getting a sticker will help! 

Bedtime- This is a bit of a problem.  Getting out of bed several times for various reasons. Drinks, hungry, potty, scared, her "friends" told her to play, etc. So maybe the sticker will be the positive reinforcement! 

I'll give you guys an update in a couple weeks to see how this works out! I'm excited, Adysons excited. I've just got to keep the excitement going. Children learn what they see, not what you try to teach them (my opinion).  You can't expect your child to have manners if you don't show them, and use manners yourself! 

What did you get accomplished today?
