If your child is struggling to keep his/her toys or room clean, you might want to consider a rewards chart! It can be as simple as giving your child a smiley face on days that he/she completes a chore, like cleaning up toys, putting away clothes, or putting the electronics back in the correct place.
Set a goal of 4 smileys in a row to earn a special reward. Grow the goal to 5, 6 or 7 days as they show improvement to help strengthen their ability to behave responsibly. Don't let the rewards cause you too much stress! They can be simple such as letting your child stay up for an extra hour to watch a movie, letting your child pick out a special snack one day, allowing your child to choose what's for dinner one night. Rewards don't always have to mean new toys or trips to the ice cream shop.

You can then read the scenarios below and discuss the STOP process with your child.
