Sticker shock
Monday, January 26th, 2009
Gareth went an entire week with minimal fighting due to his new sticker reward system. He now has a grid of tasks (be good for the nurse, get ready for school without fussing, do homework, et cetera). For each tasks he completes, he gets one star sticker. When he reaches 25 stars, he gets a reward. Last week, it was a Thomas the Tank Engine storybook CD.
This week, it’s a remote control car that flips over.
The deal is, however, that he must get all of his stickers in a single week. They don’t carry over, so if he misses the mark, he has to start at the beginning again the next week.
The chart seems to be working for the most part. He has really pulled things together now that he has an interest in doing so.
