Kaylin's new reward chart

We've been using sticker reward charts with Kaylin for the past couple of months and it has helped tremendously. I made three different charts: Cinderella, Aladdin (aka Jasmine), and Sleeping Beauty. Each one said something like, "Help Cinderella get to the castle" at the top and then had 10 spaces until the goal.

I made stickers with clipart from each theme using a sticker maker I won from a blog giveaway. To earn a sticker Kaylin could do various things that change depending on what behaviors we're trying to reinforce. Stickers have been earned for leaving a friend's house without throwing a fit, sharing with friends, doing something nicely the first time asked, using the bathroom by herself--including washing her hands, and most recently for keeping her underwear dry overnight.

Once she reaches the goal she gets to pick a prize. We tried taking her to the dollar store, but that was a little overwhelming for her, there were too many options. Now we just let her pick out two packages of candy from the store. Skittles and M&Ms are her favorites. She doesn't reach the goal all that often (every 1-2 weeks), so I don't feel too bad letting her have some candy.

I was getting tired of printing out charts, making stickers, and buying Kaylin candy. So I made a NEW chart:

The yellow spots are the "prize" spots. Cinderella moves along the path, so no more stickers. I'm just hoping that Kaylin doesn't try to move Cinderella on her own. If she does, I will have to put it out of her reach.

To make this chart I made the rectangle path in Word using tables. Then I used stickers from a Disney Princess sticker book that Kaylin has (thanks, Ashley!) to decorate it (don't tell Kaylin). Then I laminated it and laminated a Cinderella sticker for the moving piece. I just put a loop of masking tape on the back of Cinderella.

When Kaylin woke up from her nap we decided on what the prizes would be. Here they are:

1. Have a friend come over to play.
2. Get a Dora DVD from the library.
3. Have a slumber party in the bonus room.

I wrote the prizes in the yellow boxes with a dry erase marker.

She immediately got to move one space because she kept her underwear (and bed and carpet) dry during her nap. She's super excited about her new chart and keeps asking what will happen when she gets to each princess. I think this one should work great.
