Reward chart for 3 year old
Has anyone used a rewards chart and felt it helped with behaviour at all?
My 3yo son’s behaviour has been a bit challenging recently but we have just had another baby 5 weeks ago so I know a lot of it is just fighting for attention and adjusting to the big change.
He has also started expecting toys/treats all the time because so many people bought him something along with the baby.
I thought maybe a simple reward chart might help with bed times, kind hands, listening, that kind of thing🤷♀️and that he doesn’t just get treats all the time for no reason🙈
Has anyone had any success and can give me ideas what to include?

Yes!! I used a magnetic star chart on the fridge and she received 1-3 stars for each task completed (cleaning up her toys, drinking water, using the toilet, etc). It helped SO much better than shouting/punishments. For once she was excited to do these things and when she reached a certain amount of stars, she received a reward. I gradually increased the amount of stars: 10, then 15, then 20, etc. She’s 6 now and still loves getting stars. You may already do this, but those Hands Are Not For Hitting books were also a huge help in teaching manners, kindness, etc.
