THANKS FOR ALL OF THE ADVICE FOR THE STICKER CHARTS. MY CHILDREN ARE 2 AND 4 SO READING THE STICKER CHART WAS AN ISSUE, SO INSTEAD OF WRITING THE WORDS OUT FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD-I TOOK PICTUES WITH MY DIGITAL OF WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE- I TOOK A PICTURE OF A TOOTHBRUSH AND TOOTHPASTE FOR HIM TO BRUSH HIS TEETH, I TOOK A PICTURE OF HIS CLEAN ROOM FOR HIM TO PICK UP HIS ROOM! IT WORKED GREAT FOR HIM AND I WILL START WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SOON!

We’ve done a similar thing with our son, except he gets money. I know, sounds like bribery, but since he’s a bit older than Lucy (four y.o.), he’s getting to the point where he sees toys at the store that he wants. Naturally, we can’t just go out and buy everything for him, so the chart is a good way for him to earn money for doing things around the house (yes, I have actual chores, like “Dusting the Furniture” and “Put Clothes Away”). He’s currently saving up to buy a Transformer, and has almost eight dollars!
Dobson wrote about it in Dare to Discipline as well.

I was searching for ideas of what to put on my son’s sticker chart and I came across your post. I love how you set it up! Thanks for the ideas! I looked up your info on the About page to see how old your daughter was when you started this and it turns out my kids are a month younger than each of your kids. We’re putting it together tonight and hopefully it’ll work well! Thanks for the great advice.
