Incentive Chart

Use this incentive chart to track progress towards a goal.  You can use it for anything you like. 
1. Decide on a goal.  What do you want your child to work on?  Reading books?  Sharing with others?  Potty training?  Memorizing Scriptures?  Pick one specific thing you want to see improved. 
2. Decide how you want to fill in the squares on the chart.  You can laminate the chart or put it in a protective sleeve if you want to be able to wipe it off and use it again.  You can use stamps, stickers, check marks, or any other "marker" you want to use.
3. Determine a reward.  What motivates your child?  Candy?  Time on an electronic device?  Time for crafts?  Whatever your child loves to do the most will be a great incentive.  Pick a reward that is affordable and won't be unhealthy (like a couple candies instead of a whole pack). 
4. Determine how frequently the reward will be given.  Is the reward given when one row is finished?  Or when the whole page is complete?  Print out the chart.  Use brightly colored paper if desired. 
5. Explain the new plan to your child.  For example, "Mark, look at this fun page.  You know I have been talking with you about reading more books.  This month, whenever you read a new book by yourself, you can put a sticker in the square.  When each row is full, we can go to the library and get new books.  When the entire page is full, we can go to Half Price Books (discount book store) and pick out a new book for your personal library."  This is just an example and would only be motivating to a child who likes to read but isn't really into it during the summer, or some similar situation. 
6. Let your child color and decorate the incentive chart. 
7. Post it in a convenient location with the markers/stickers/stamps nearby. 
8.  Be consistent and have fun!

When You Walk By The Way...

Deuteronomy 6 tells us teach our children to fear the Lord, to keep His commands, and to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind.  Every day we should look for opportunities to point our children to God.  Check back soon for devotional ideas.
