Printable Chart: Gymnastics Theme

What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And everything nice go the old nursery rhyme, but parents and teachers often think otherwise. Little girls are just as likely to act up, show disrespectful behavior, refuse to go to sleep when it's time for bed and throw their dirty clothes around the room instead of putting them in the hamper. One great solution? This colorful and attractive Gymnastics behavior chart from Kidz Pointz . All of Kid Pointz behavioral charts are absolutely free and as close to teachers and parents as their color printer. Just click and print. Most teachers are familiar with using behavioral charts but parents at home may not. The idea is to encourage positive behaviors by assigning points for positive actions. Say a behavior you want to encourage is for your daughter to wash her hands every time before eating. You would not worry about when they forget, and do nothing but perhaps give a gentle reminder. But every time mom or dad does see your daughter washing up before eating, they would agree among themselves to issue 10 points on the Gymnastics theme chart. If they earned 50 points for a week, they might get an ice cream cone or an extra half hour worth of tv viewing. You encourage positive behaviors if you give them a choice of rewards, they are more into it, and older children often do well by selecting a larger reward after several weeks of positive behavior. The chart has room for keeping track of up 10 different behaviors on a weekly basis.
