Mainly, I am not supervising a classroom full of kids so I am able to give more one-on-one direction and attention. I didn’t want to use this type of chart for many reasons. Often a child’s name would be written on a clothespin and moved from the “good behavior” sections to the “bad behavior” sections. Many charts I looked at while trying to figure out exactly what I wanted were for whole classroom management.

One year later my second daughter also completed a year of homeschool preschool and never needed a behavior chart. ![]() I found that after about four months the chart was no longer necessary as she got the hang of homeschool preschool and I slowly phased it out (which was awesome)! The weekly rewards were a huge hit (when she earned them). ![]() Not getting her small daily incentive absolutely had an impact on her. There were definitely some days she only earned one sticker and only one time did she not earn any. UPDATE: The behavior chart worked very well!
