Welcome to the world of PORTABLE PARENTING!
STARS should be given immediately after good behavior is displayed, therefore make sure to keep the Star Stash Tote with you at all times. Also, reward opportunities can be spontaneously added when a needed.
When child displays good behavior, you can then allow for them to trade stars (ex. When shopping, if child shows good behavior during the shopping trip, then they can redeem their stars. Make sure to explain the rules before you enter the store.)
STARS can be taken away for not following rules or using bad language. |
