Has anyone heard of a discipline ladder reward system and how do you set one up?

Question

I've come across a discipline/reward system that I really would like to try. I can purchase it for twenty dollars on a web sight but can not afford it right now. How can I best set up my own reward/discipline ladder for my children? I seem to get overwhelm and distracted when trying on my own.

Champ ladder is the one I found on the internet

Answer 1

I'm curious where you found the one you found.....could you add that detail...... I saw something like that used by the Dilly family and if you go to www.mostonline.org/DillyDisciplinesschoolage.pdf you will find exactly how they made their's up. They used a seperate thing for chores and discipline depending on age.

Hope this helps!

if this link doesnt show through you can IM me at [e-mail] and I will share it with you.

Answer 2

I use my own system.... I bought these chore charts this summer 2 bucks a piece at the dollar general and well they work for 5 bucks a week... this includes earning it and bad behavior gets dollars taken off and I keep track too... so if it continues they are threatened once that there will be no allowance... seems to work well!!!

I am a mother of 2 , ages 5 and 7.

You could reward points for doing chores, good grades, good behavior, etc... If they misbehave or don't do their designated household responsibilities deduct points. Then at the end of each week or month add up any points earned, subtract the ones lost and allow them to cash in their points. You could let them cash them in on a trip to the theater or some other family outing or you could let them turn it into cash, whichever you choose. You would just have to set what needs to be done everyday and how many points would be earned for each item and how many points you will deduct for misbehaving. You could even give the children poker chips to signify the points and make them return them when they misbehave. This would make things a little more realistic to them. It works well with my 10 and 7 year old. They hate giving me back the chips they worked so hard to earn. Yes it does take effort, consistency and time but in the end it is well worth it when your child goes a whole month without returning any of her hard earned chips.
