Good idea. A good product, but not great.

First of all, this is a great idea. And apparently this is an updated"improved" version. I would like to see the next version because I can think of a few updates that could definitely be made to this version. The magnets are very weak and keep falling off. The two boards are permanently connected and you can just cut the nylon cords so you don't keep hanging both at the same time. Third, thick solid wood makes the thing heavy, ie difficult to hang, and bulky, like I said. It worked great for…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Great design and quality

This responsibility chart saved a life in our 7 year old at home. Starting with the design, I really like the balance of magnets between behavior and activity. Additionally, the cord and fabric that hold the panels together feel very strong and should hold up to prolonged use. There are only two things I would like to change: 1. I would add more blank magnets for your own assignments (currently only two are supplied) and a small whiteboard marker2. I would place the targets anywhere on the map.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Zero

Game Changes Novelty & Gag Toys

I love this adhesion table! We needed additional tasks that weren't in the original tasks, so I used blue masking tape to hide what we didn't need and filled in what we did. We use the chart every week and have really seen an improvement in behavior. That's mostly for consistency, but it's been a great channel for getting consistency. My son can recognize photos to determine if he has completed today's duties and proudly praises himself where appropriate. I wish the magnets were a little…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • unreliable

NAMES ON MAGNETS!: New toy and fun

After reading these reviews I bought 2 of these for my 3 and 5 year olds. But I couldn't find any review listing the titles of the duties for those of you who want to know if this would work for you; which should be for the majority because it covers the majority. Here they are: getting ready for bed, dressing, bathing, clearing the table, putting away toys, keeping hands to yourself, sharing, brushing teeth, stop whining, apologize, say thank you, help with house/outside chores, don't tease…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I would love to love it but it has some issues - Revised and updated

I have bought 2 of these in the last few months and we have all been excited to use them. We used them for a few days and thought it was a great idea, but there was one problem - the magnets kept falling off. Then I realized why; The tree on each board is warped! Each is a wooden frame with a magnetic surface attached inside. When the frames are crooked, the wood curves outward and is no longer flat, so the magnets just fall off. Very disappointing especially having bought 2 of these on 2…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I will add later
