Reward Chart for Toddlers (Ages 2–4)
A reward chart turns good behaviour into something children can see: a sticker or a tick for every day they manage kind words, listening the first time or sharing, and a reward they choose at the end of the week. It works because it's about what they do well, not what goes wrong.
