Discussion Board: Toddlers and Pre-schoolers

any got any advice for starting one of these with my son. Am not sure whether he is too young & won't understand - hes just turned 3. When do you give a sticker & how often do you give something more than sticker....thanks

not quite 3 year old. I used it for toilet training, every time he used the toilet he got a sticker, if he had an accident he got a sad face and after two weeks of stickers he got a trip to chipmunks. Worked for us. Good luck

Hi, a rewards chart worked for my boys! Oldest was 6 when I started it, he understood the concept of money by then so it was each sticker was worth 5c. His piggy bank was over flowing quite quickly! He now gets a set amount of pocket money each week if he does all his chores, and gets money deducted if he does not do his chores (he's 9 now) Our 4yo loves the idea too. He saw what was going on with his older brother, and got teh idea quite quickly, but he just wanted the stickers!!! Now he just loves to do his jobs and is learning how to cook!!! He loves to grate carrot and eats most of it too!!!!

Hey Rocketpower,

Can you jump across to the discussion about Pocket Money in Letters to the Editor (the Blog section) and share your experiences?

Thanks!

hey there

my son is two, and i wondered if he was to young but he loves his reward chart.

I use a sticker chart, he gets to choose a sticker and put it on his chart each time he goes potty, he loves it!
