The best thing to make is a huge calendar. Talk with your child about his day. When he does something good, let him put a smiley face on his calendar (draw it or get stickers) and if he has some trouble, talk about how he can't put a face on his calendar and a way he can fix it so he can later. At the end of the day, have a wrap-up and put a HUGE face in the day (a big smile for a good day, a frown for a really tough day). Then have your child color in a box on another sheet of paper, put a picture of his special treat on that paper. After he has earned so many boxes (10 or so) then he gets the treat in the picture.
Keeping your focus on the day, not on each moment, will help your child feel like he can still be good even after a bad moment and be successful. Kids with behavior charts often get into the habit of feeling like all is lost after one mistake and give up on the day or even the reward. With the option of having another chance in the next few minutes, the focus is on general behavior, not on the moment.
Using this can mean you offer little rewards or great big ones like a new bike. It builds a lot of self-esteem and patience and helps the child learn a work ethic that will help them understand that money and other things in life have to be worked for.
Hope that helps

The best way is to get your son involved with making it,I have got a 6yr old with adhd and I get him to help he loves it.When I make the chart I use the things he stuggles with ie:walking to school nicely,eating dinner,no swearing,he has to do these things for the whole week he will earn a sticker for each one,my son likes putting them on himself.Make sure he knows what the treat will be for the end of the week,but he must earn every sticker.The other one that is good but can cost a little more is get a beaker and some nice shiny stones,everytime he does or something or uses the correct way of asking/talking for things put one in his beaker,but never take them away!!!!At the end of the day count them and see how many he has earned keep a tally each day.Watch how they can improve getting so many shiny stones.(If you ask him to do something and he does it straight away award him straight away and praise praise praise).

I made my own chart for good behavior with brightly colored tagboard from Michaels, magic markers and stickers. Kids want to please adults, so if this is done right it works magic.

You might want to think carefully about doing a naughty chart because the consequences long term could be really negative (shaming). Instead, do time outs and tell him to think about why he is in the time out.


When it is over, sit with him and say 'Why did mommy put you in a time out?' (often he will say 'I don't know' whick is okay. Just repeat and tell him why again if needed and then tell him how you would like his behavior to change in the future)


I have done that with my son and one day his friend was in a time out he said, 'just sit down and think about it. my mommy has me do that and it works all the time because then I think about what I did."

It can't be that hard to make one! Just get a piece of paper and draw lines on it. Don't do a "naughty" chart!!! Focus on the good things he does....all the time...and he'll do good things. Make him a naughty chart and he'll be naughty cuz you're focusing on the bad things.

I'd suggest getting a large sheet of paper and actually making it with your son. If like me you're not particularly arty then buy a couple of cheap childrens magazines or print pictures of the internet and cut them up!

f he feels more involved with the process and feels 'attached' to the chart (i.e. its in his favourite colours, with his favourite cartoon characters around the outside) then he's more likely to take part in the exercise.

I applaud your technique in dealing with bad behaviour. Don't forget to reward good behaviour, but bad behaviour should get no attention at all - two warnings and then sent to his room. Getting you shouting and screaming can also be seen as a reward for little children as they have your full attention!

Good luck

There is a site that sells some great charts and such.

I am specifically thinking about these two

The If-Then Chart
Simplify everyday discipline by setting Bible-based standards

The Blessing Chart
Encourage godly behavior with simple, Bible-based rewards.
