Frequently asked questions

How do behaviour charts encourage good behaviour?
The most effective behaviour charts work by 'catching children being good' — noticing and rewarding the positive behaviour you want to see (kindness, listening, sharing, trying hard) rather than focusing on the negative. This matters because children crave attention, and rewarding good choices with stars and warm, specific praise ('I loved how you shared with your sister') reinforces them far more effectively than nagging about bad behaviour does. To get the best from one: keep it positive (never take stars away as punishment, which sours the whole thing), focus on just one or two behaviours at a time so it's clear and achievable, give the reward and praise promptly, and make the praise specific so the child knows exactly what they did well. Charts suit younger children especially and work best as a short-term boost to establish a habit. For ongoing behaviour concerns, your health visitor, GP or school can offer support.
