Frequently asked questions

Do reward charts actually work for children?
Used well, reward charts can be an effective, positive way to encourage a specific behaviour or new habit — potty training, staying in bed, kind words, getting ready in the morning — because they make progress visible and give children immediate, encouraging feedback. A few things make the difference between one that works and one that fizzles: focus on just one behaviour at a time rather than a long list, give the star or sticker immediately when earned, keep the goal achievable so the child experiences success, and crucially never take stars away as punishment (that turns the chart negative and undermines it). The warm praise that comes with the star matters more than the reward itself. Charts work best as a short-term boost to establish a habit, after which you can quietly retire them. They suit younger children especially; older ones may prefer a points or pocket-money system.
