Not all children can do expected actions based on their self-conscience. Even for their daily routines, they will need external motivations to encourage them taking actions. Reward punch cards for children is an incentive to motivate then to do several things that you expect them to do. Today I am giving away free reward punch cards for children.
How Reward Punch Cards Work
It is very troublesome when children demand their incentives all of the time after they run errands or do expected things.
- First of all, parents must be annoyed when they have to stop working on something because children interrupt for the sake of the incentive. Parents might not be ready with the reward and they might not have a chance to check children’s work because of the haste.
- Another reason, parents will not educate children to be patient. Children will be used to get something easily at once they want to get things. This attitude will never happen in the real life. People need to wait until the time they can get what they want. For example: employees will need to wait until the payday to get their salary. People will also get payment after a project finish.
The idea of reward punch cards for children in doing their daily chores and expected positive habits will work well to anticipate those conditions.
- Parents and children can discuss and negotiate the incentives given when children can meet the target of punched circles.
- Using this reward system, children need to accomplish certain expected numbers of works. It can be reading routines, chores, or any kindness deeds.
- Every time they accomplish a “task”, they will go to parents to punch a circle
- Once all circles get hole or punched children will get the reward.
