For one thing, by actually writing down the positive behavior to be reinforced, there is no confusion about what is expected. This weekly behavioral chart has up to 10 spaces to track behaviors. Secondly, as it is found in real life, positive behaviors have positive consequences, which unfortunately means also that negative consequences are also noticed.
