Star Charts

We use a "Star Chart" to keep track of the kids doing their lesson, chores, their behavior, personal hygiene gets done, etc. I have a copy in my binder and the kids have a laminated copy in the kitchen where they can see their progress or lack there of. When they complete their chores, lessons, etc they get a "good job" in that spot, but when they don't complete their chores or have undesirable behavior during the day they get a "Not a good job" in that spot.


















They get what we call drops for not completing chores and such. 1 drop in chores equals half of allowance lost. 2 drops in chores equals loss of full allowance for
the week. Also if they have behavior issues they have consequences, such as loss of TV time, time out, etc. And they have to pay the duty jar for certain behaviors. Such as .50 for talking back, or hitting, etc.





This visual system is working well for us.
