You could draw a grid with the jobs he has to do, and the day of the week so he can get a star for each job- you could even do this on the computer and print out a new one each week if you wanted. You could be more creative and maybe have a truck for each job and he gets a wheel for each day- 6 wheeler with a steering wheel for the last day- this requires more of your time and energy, but is more likely to enthuse him to take notice of the chart. Try not to make all the rewards about monetary value and material things, maybe time spent with you in the park or cooking his fave meal, or an outing to see the new film- depending on what age he is you could discuss it together and come up with something he can really look forward to for the end of the week. I have seen kids become so obsessed with possessions through using these charts.

Hi, we got a chart for out little boy. We bought it, but you could follow the same principles. Down the side mae a list of all the things you want to reward them on. Across the top have each day of the week. Then at the bottom of each day note a reward they will get if he complete the tasks and also make a note of a big reward the will get if hey complete all the tasks for the whole week. This will give them a goal to work towards. I hope this helps.

we have a few..

a rainbow with two race tracks... every time he gets a reward, he goes ahead one spot and if he doesn't do his chore, the other guy goes ahead... when he wins at the end, at the pot of gold, he gets a prize! (make sure he doens't lose very often if at all or he will get discouraged)


another one that my daugther had was a treasure hunt... every time she brushed her teeth with the timer and flossed, she ran to the treasure hunt chart.. it would say 'where mommy washes dishes'.. then she would run to the sink and find the sticker I put there when she was brushing. She would then run to the chart and cover 'where mommy does dishes' with her sticker... when she got to the treasure box, it says 'look under where you sleep' and I had a prize there... she loved that one

another one for feed the cat... each time she fed the cat, she got to draw in a piece of food in the cat dish (a picture of a cat by an empy dish).. when the cat had a full dish (20 peices of food)... she got to pick which park we go to...

This stuff works great....!

Answer 5

Raising a responsible and self-sufficient child is a huge task for parents and anything we can come up with to help us along the way is a godsend. One way to do this is by instilling a sense of responsibility within our children right from the start by giving them something to be responsible for. Chores for children do just that and when you child has a chore, no matter how small, he learns what it means to be responsible for something. When children learn responsibilities, they earn more respect for their parents because they begin to notice just how many responsibilities grown ups have. Not only will chores help build a responsible child, it will help you out around the house as well!

How about getting a rocket ship picture, and with your little boys help stick it on a sheet of black card, stick some planet shapes on tooo! maybe with glitter
Take your Boy shopping to buy some stars then tell him what they are going to be used for

Answer 7

Whatever design you choose, I suggest you laminate it. Then you can re-use it each week. If you stick the stickers onto card, cut round them, and laminate them too, you can stick them to the chart with tape or bluetack. That way you can use it again and again.

For my daughter i went on line to her favourite site (lazytown), took the images and made a chart in powerpoint.

Not sure how computer savy you are - maybe your partner can help. Otherwise i am happy to.

Good luck

Answer 9

i think that a big grid would work..like a spreadsheet/table. it depends on what you are using it for. you could do days of the week across the top, etc.

Answer 10

how about his fav character or if he is into dinos or trains etc.... something that will make him motivated to take part.....make it fun for him.
Bright and happy
