Kids Charts: Dog Theme

The ability to manipulate and modify children's behavior has long been a chore. The experts suggest positive behavior modifications are the best ways to correct inappropriate behaviors. Positive reinforcement of acceptable behavior is always the best way to get positive results in a child's life. One way of accomplishing positive behavior modifications is by rewarding the positive behavior changes by recognizing the modified behavior and displaying results so the child can see the progress reached towards the goal. Small steps towards a bigger goal are always possible when each small increment is noted on a chart. When the chart is understood and accepted by both the child and the modifier, results will be positive and swift. The chart used to mark these small incremental forward movements should be a fun and accepted way to mark progress. This can be accomplished by using a chart with a dog theme. The dog is a friendly family member that also has to follow family rules. The child will use the dog-themed chart to make their behavioral modification easier on themselves and the parent involved. Understanding the process of making small steps toward a larger goal will be a behavior carried throughout a child's life.
