Review on 📊 Kenson Kids 'I Can Do It' Reward and Responsibility Chart: Track Progress with this 11 X 15.5-Inch Tool by Ken Coste

First of all, I only have one small problem with this sky map: The mat is a bit thin, so our little one sometimes accidentally pulls it off the fridge when she takes off the stars or puts the stars on roughly. But in defense of the product. Babies are tiny bullocks in china shops, so there's not much we can do without pasting them to the wall. Also, I love this star map! This gives our 4 year old a concrete visual cue on how her week is going and sets expectations/goals for the week. I also like that the stars are velcro. They stick well and allow us to remove the stars if the little one throws a tantrum or doesn't listen after the stars are made. We've been using this sky map for about two months and have noticed a lot of progress with our little one. I think she'll find it easier to set goals instead of just asking "be nice" or "be nice" or "helpful." We also spend time talking about her day and what she did well and what she can improve on the next day. This gives her a chance to celebrate small victories and discuss the unwanted behavior and why we don't do it (hitting, not listening, being rude, throwing tantrums, whining) and encouraging her to work on it the next day. We let her tell us what reward she would like to receive at the beginning of the week (within reason, of course) and remind her every night of the goal she is aiming for. I think it teaches her how to work toward a goal and shows her that there are rewards for good behavior. She's had to learn the hard way not to reach her goal and how really bad behavior (an epic breakdown, screaming and crying because she didn't want to go to bed) can lose her already earned stars, which I think helps her understand consequences. She didn't quite understand what "losing a star" meant until I asked her to remove the star from the card and give it back to me. I saw something click in her head and she went silent and sad. Of course we don't like to see it, but it's an important experience and once she understood it, she made a difference and had a great time the next day. I want to say that she's not a bad kid. In fact, she is a very sweet, exuberant child. But toddlers are tiny cavemen and a great tool for encouraging good behavior. If you're looking for a way to guide your little one through positive reinforcement, I think this is a great way to go. It also seems durable and I have no doubt that we will be using it for a long time.
