Our friends Oliver & Debbie gave us a great parenting suggestion when we saw them last weekend and we implemented it immediately when we got home. When Oliver earns 10 stars, he gets a treat, special outing, or a prize. We had tried a chore chart previously, but found it to be a bit to early to incorporate in our daily routine.
Over the past week and a half, Oliver had earned stars by getting himself dressed and undressed (a constant battle in this house), for behaving while Natalie handled bedtime solo, as well as for rewards for being a loving, helpful, big brother. This method is great for both encouraging independence (so annoying to coax him to get himself dressed twice a day) and also a nice way to acknowledge unprompted good behavior.
His first prize was Chick Hicks, the bad guy from the first Cars Movie.
