Kids don't grow a behavior because we point out what they did wrong. They grow it when doing the right thing feels good and leads somewhere they wanted to go.
How kids use the behavior chart: pick a behavior, pick a reward
- Pick the behavior: One habit to grow this week - brushing teeth, sharing, gentle hands
- Pick the reward: Let your child choose the 'Fun Stuff' they're working toward
- Celebrate your wins: Move the card or high-five the moment they do it
Good thing

Children learn that good choices lead somewhere good. The habit sticks long after the chart comes down, because it built real motivation, not just a chase for stickers.
The best behavior chart for kids doesn't feel like a rulebook - it feels like a game they're winning.
How to Use:
- Cut out the Good & Fun cards
- Set the behavior and reward together
- Follow the chart and celebrate every win
