Reward Chart Surprise

Reward charts have become quite the feature in our home as of late. It is a win-win for everyone and such a positive way to encourage behaviors in Tate. The Jorgensen’s sent Tate these very cool fuzzy monkey stickers. We wanted to find a special way to use them. So Tyler and Tate drew a jungle chart and each time Tate obeyed the first time  - right away, all the way, with a happy heart is what we call it - he got a monkey and a high-five! When he got all his monkey’s, his surprise was a big wheel (this is the “original” but without the hand break, which Tyler said was the best part!).

Another cool thing is, we wanted to get Tate a big wheel anyway to have something fun to ride outside on the deck this Spring and Summer. Worked out perfectly! I find all kind of “surprises” that work beautifully – books are my favorite, a new playdo color, a board game the family can play all together, or sometimes it is just a big ol’ fat kiss! He loves them all!
