Lauren's behavior lately has not been the greatest. She is having a hard time following directions and using nice words. If she gets frustrated she cries or screams. She is very sassy and snotty. She has trouble doing things when asked, like getting dressed and going potty. So I decided to start a sticker chart with her.
I laminated it and put Velcro on it. She earns smiley faces for doing certain things required each day and she looses smiley faces when she is not using nice words or when she doesn't follow directions. She was very excited to start it.
She has been doing really well earning all her smiley faces except the poop on the potty one. She hasn't earned that one yet. I also made her a chore chart....thought it was time for her to start doing some work around the house. She gets a smiley face for helping empty the dishwasher, helping put away laundry, and cleaning up her toys. She is doing great with that. If I ask her to do a chore and she doesn't want to I give her the choice of time out or the chore. Sometimes she chooses time out which is kind of funny because she still has to do the chore to get out of time out.
At the end of each day we count how many smiley faces she earns and that is how many marbles she gets. The goal is to fill the jar with marbles and then she will get a prize. So far it is working. Her behavior has improved and she is doing great in the mornings getting ready by herself. She is learning to do chores.....hope it continues!!

Great idea! So cute! I am wanting to start something similar with Holden. I like the idea of the marble jar to go with it. 3 is a challenging age...I am enjoying 4 much better!! Hang in there. :)
