Behavior Chart

i know there are so many ways to raise a child... i just need some help. When my son turned 3 he decided to not listen. Its not all the time (so i cant be totally consistent) Any suggestions or ideas. Originally i had a behavior chart that had him working on three things. he had 5 chances on each thing he was working on. He would max those chances out with-in the first 40 minutes of the day. So... we go to basic.... start with one Goal/Characteristic... and work our way up to multiple goals.

I thought the emotions chart would help him visualize where he was at. If he can make it every day with out getting to the bottom (SAD) i would reward him. one of 4 things. These were super huge rewards, i think... but would you believe that Hyrum didn't make it but once in 2 weeks to get his reward last time i attempted this. We shall see....

I will keep you posted on how it is working... but feel free to suggest ANYTHING at this point. thanks.

Nothing like a brother!!!

Wyatt was very quit in his crib, then I heard him giggling. So I walked in to check on him. This is what I found. Hyrum climbed in and was making him laugh. Funny kids hu, they are always making me smile!

Hyrum's on two wheels

Jaron decided one evening to take off Hyrum's training wheels. I (sadly) was totally against it due to it making more work for me, having to run behind the bike and hold him up. Jaron kept saying that Hyrum could do it, and that we need to challenge him. Again was not liking the idea. So Jaron removed the training wheels and also the pedals... WHAT, the pedals...? Ya, Jaron had Hyrum coast on the bike, with his feet being able to touch the ground and learned to balance and push his bike. It was super smart of Jaron to do. So for an evening Hyrum road/coasted his bike all around. That following night Jaron put back on the petals and Hyrum was riding his bike and Hasn't looked back.



Originally Hyrum was very hesitant about riding with out training wheels but daddy assured him, and he went for it. Way to go Hyrum. You are growing up way toooooo fast. I love you sweet boy.
