I don’t use charts yet with my toddler, but this “School Year” we are going to start using them. I plan on using them for a couple of different things.
We started using a reward bag in the car (it has stickers and fruit snacks in it), and he can pick something out when he has been a good boy while we are out.
At home I plan to have a re-usable chart where each week we will put stickers up when he eats well, helps clean, or is nice to his toys. Stickers can be cashed in at certain increments (5, 10, 15…) he can pick a simple reward like a sticker, an extra book at night. Or he can choose save them for a movie, or save them longer for a toy or outing to a place he really enjoys.
What I like about this system is it is a virtual allowance and will teach him how saving and money works. Plus children are very visual learners. So this is a great way to help him learn about work, rewards, and choices. Not to mention it is a system that we can use for years to come!

I just love your reward in a bag idea for the car. We really need to work on Baybah’s behavior when we go out.
Wow! You have some great ideas. We could really use the reward bag in the car.
I would love to do the reward/allowance idea for Luke, but I’m afraid he wouldn’t understand about saving them for something bigger or get the whole idea of it in general.
Love the idea for the car! I should really make something like that!
New Follower from the hop you host would love a follow back at Realadventuresfromamomof3.blogspot.com.
I love the reward bag for the car idea. With back to school here we will be on the go a lot more and my little one is an awful traveler. He hates the car. This might be helpful !!!
