A Smarter, Simpler Way to Encourage Your Kids
Shift the Focus to What's Working
Instead of tracking missteps, this chart helps you 'catch them being good.' It's a powerful way to build a child's confidence and motivate change through positive attention.
Turn 'Trying' into a Tangible Win
Kids love watching their progress bars grow! It turns abstract goals like 'being patient' or 'using kind words' into a visual game they can understand and feel proud of.
Keep the Whole Team on the Same Page
Share a collaborative link with a co-parent, grandparent, or teacher. When everyone is celebrating the same wins, the reinforcement is consistent and so much more effective.

Your Guide to a Successful Chart
A chart is just a chart. The real magic happens in how you use it. Here’s how to turn correction into connection.
Get Inspired with Ideas
The best goals aren't about being 'good,' they're about the effort. Try focusing on one or two of these at a time:
For Social Skills
- Using kind words with a sibling
- Sharing a toy without being asked
- Giving a compliment
For Emotional Regulation
- Staying calm when frustrated or told 'no'
- Using words to express a big feeling
- Taking a deep breath when upset
For Responsibility
- Following directions the first time
- Starting homework without reminders
- Helping with a task before being asked
Follow These 3 Keys
Key 1: Catch Them Being Good
The goal is to notice the effort, not just the outcome. When you see your child trying, even if it's not perfect, mark it as a win. This positive attention is the most powerful motivator there is.
Key 2: Make Them a Teammate
Instead of setting goals for them, set goals with them. Ask, "What's one thing we can work on together this week?" When they have ownership, they're much more invested in the process.
Key 3: Talk About the Wins
At the end of the day, take 30 seconds to point to a checkmark. Say, "I really noticed how patient you were when we had to wait in line today." This reinforces the specific behavior you want to see more of.
Progress Over Perfection
This chart isn't about creating 'perfect' kids. It’s a simple tool to help you notice and celebrate their effort, find a calmer rhythm as a family, and strengthen your connection, one small win at a time.

Your Questions, Answered
Is this free to use?
Yes! The main features—making charts, using templates, and collaborating—are 100% free.
How does sharing work?
Your chart is only accessible via its unique link. Anyone you share the link with can both view and edit the chart, making it easy to collaborate with a partner, teacher, or grandparent. You control who has access by controlling who you share the link with.
What if we miss a day? Is the chart ruined?
Absolutely not. This isn't a test they can fail. Life happens! The goal is progress, not perfection. Just pick it up tomorrow. The chart will be waiting right where you left it.
What's a good reward for a behavior chart?
We've found the most powerful goals are ones you do *together*. Instead of a prize, think of a shared memory, like a family game night or a trip to the park. The goal is to make it a team mission, not a transaction.
