You can use our 10-Day You Can Do It Chart to track brushing and flossing, reading, practicing multiplication tables, or making the bed. It will help your children stay motivated and focused as they strive to reach a goal.  Every day, you can celebrate a small victory by checking a day off on the chart. Once the chart is completed, you’ll have a huge victory to celebrate! Don’t forget to let the kids come up with some fun rewards for the day they reach the last circle!

We all know staying motivated as we chip away at a goal is difficult. We think the visual reminder of progress as they round the corner to the next stage is a great way to keep your kids’ spirits up and show them that every step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. 

If your child needs a longer stretch of time to work toward a goal, check out our 25-Day You Can Do It Chart, 50-Day You Can Do It Chart, and 100-Day You Can Do It Chart. And Mom, these charts are cute enough that you can use them for your goals, too. Imagine 100 days of drinking eight glasses of water or reading a daily devotional! You’ll be so proud of yourself. 

So print the chart today and start cheering on your kids one day at a time!

Have you ever noticed the helmets of college football players? They have little stickers on them. I did some digging and found out that the sticker trend began with the National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes back in 1968. The stickers were given as a reward for outstanding plays. These days, teams give the stickers for commendable behavior on and off the field.

So here’s how you can motivate your children with stickers – use our Printable Reward Charts. Come up with a single behavior you’d like to see improved in your child. Then, when you see them doing better, give them a sticker. So if you’re trying to get your son to stop kicking his sister, give him a sticker for every day he goes without kicking. Or if he needs more immediate rewards, give him a “no kicking” sticker every hour!

Set a time span for using the printable – say three to five days for younger children and week for older ones.

At the end of that time, count up the stickers and celebrate! We have a football helmet printable and a crown printable you can use to motivate your children.

It’s your turn: How have you used reward charts?

Keeping a reading log is a good way for kids to also work on their penmanship and organizational skills, two qualities that become increasing important for success in English Language Arts classes as they get older.

If you have a reluctant reader, iMOM’s Reading Log could also be used as an incentive. Talk with your child about a reward for completing the chart and set a goal to receive that reward. Perhaps five books read independently would earn a trip to the ice cream shop. Maybe 10 books would be a movie night with the family. If you read together and then fill in the reading log as a team, it’ll work just as well. Setting our kids up for success starts with having good literacy skills and a reading log is one tool to get that journey started!

Setting goals and keeping track of your child’s reading on iMOM’s printable Reading Log will show your child that reading is important but also fun!

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss. It’s so important to help our kids develop a love of reading. iMOM’s printable Reading Log is a great way to motivate your children to keep reading. Try it today!
