Reward List
Rewards are very useful tools when teaching your child new skills or encouraging good behavior. Use this list as a guide, and create one for your family. These are merely suggestions to get you started. Continue to add to the list as new ideas occur to you. To improve your potential for success, let your child look at the list and choose the one(s) they would most prefer.
Social Interactions
There are a number of social rewards you can provide to your child for a job well done. Some can be given immediately and others might take a bit more planning.
Fun Home Activities
There are lots of activities you can do right at home that can be used as rewards. Think about the toys, games, and materials you already have.
Treasure Chest Rewards
These are small ticket items that can be earned for a simple task or skill your child is asked to do. You can also control the time your child can play with these items.
Outings
These activities involve going somewhere. They can range from a short to longer outing. The outing can be something earned at the end of the day or end of the week. You can tell your child that they need to do a simple task a certain amount of times to earn that outing.
Big Reward Items
These are big ticket items that can be earned gradually over time. If you want your child to earn something like this, you could print out a picture of the item and let your child know how much it “costs” – not actual dollars, but how many points your child needs to earn to get it. Points can be earned for whatever you want. Then keep track!
Being in Charge Rewards
These rewards give your child the opportunity to make big choices either for a group of people or for themselves.
