I'd make a chart and put a sticker on each day that he went to school and was good. they go to school what 2-3 times a week. and at the end of the week, make a jar and put stuff on pieces of paper, ( like play a game with mommy, watch a movie with mommy and daddy, candy or whatever u like) and let them pick one out and do whatever it says. worked great with my son

This one does work, and for kids at any age.
For every day in which they do what it is required of them they get a token. Now that token can be tangible, however drawn on a chart is better. Reason for this is the the actual record of their progress prompts them more to complete the goal. They get a sense of self accomplishment when every day when they actually see the chart gets bigger and brighter.
Once they complete a pre determined amount of tokens they can turn them in for rewards. The rewards are more personalized and vary for any one individual. So you and the child will actually decide on the rewards yourselves.
The best part is the child will not only strive to do whati is expected from him, but he also learns values. He will learn how to set an aim as well as self worth and positive reinforcement.
For the toddlers a chart with stars, stickers, glitter,etc. is recommended. Let them post their own accomplishments on the chart daily. Not only can this be used for preschool but it can be adjusted continually throughout the school age for many years to come. Make more than just school behavior , you can also teach him good habits and responsibility such as for putting the toys away, or for brushing his teeth, dumping the trash, etc.

Please don't reward your child with stickers, money, toys, or treats. If you do, he or she will turn into a praise and reward junkie. Your child is doing well right now without these rewards. If you start using them, you're child will only start being good to get them. Instead, say things like “You did that by yourself! You can jump so high!You worked on that for a long time! You must be so proud of yourself! Look how many colors you used on your painting! You can run super fast! You’re teachers must be so impressed by you! You've made such nice friends!” Offer lots of love and positive attention. Be proud of yourself for a job well done!

How about just a hug? Kids should not get a reward for being good in school. That's something that is expected.

Hi
I dont really agree with giving your child a hug for being good in school, as your child should be hugged regardless. I agree with the sticker / star chart - give them something to aim for at the end of the week. E.G a day out, a new toy, some new clothes, i suppose it depends on your child and what they like. All kids love toys....

I think I would take the child to a book store and buy a children's book of some sort.. actually a book that would be of some educational benefit to the child.. that would also encourage him/her to read which is essential in today's world

A big hug and telling her/him that you are sooo proud when he/she behaves in school. Children want to please their parents at this age and rewarding with praise instead of something material will teach him/her that going to, behaving is his/her responsibility, not something that gets celebrated/rewarded like a birthday.

Stickers or $1 toys. Then there's always making a big deal out of it. Kids love praise!

Maybe let him or her invite a couple of friends to go to McDonald's ..they can eat a happy meal and play in play ground...kids like that ..and doesn't cost much...let your child know he or she can do this only if he or she dose well in school..Good Luck...hope this help

Let your child pick somewhere they want to go(as long as it reasonable)and enjoy their selves.And let your child know why you are doing it , it could encourage the child to continue with the good behavior.
