MAGNET TITLES!!! I bought 2 of these for my 3 and 5 year olds after reading these reviews. But I couldn’t find a review that stated the titles of the responsibilities for those of you wanting to know if it will work for you; which for most it should cuz it covers most. Here they are: get ready for bed, get dressed, take bath, cear table, put toys away, keep hands to self, share, brush teeth,stop whining, apologize, say please, thank you, help with indoor/outdor chores, no teasing, show respect, load/empty dishwasher, put clothes in wash, don’t use bad language, set table, take care of pet, do homework, make bed, clean room, take out trash, keep hands to self, plus 2 blank to write your own.My 5 year old took to it right away as we placed all her responsibilities on the board.

For example, am I really supposed to reward little Johnny for not teasing this week? Or say, “Hooray! You didn’t use bad words this week!” Rather than couch it in those terms, I’d rather phrase it positively, such as “I used good words this week” or “I was kind to my friends/sister..” – reward them for positive behavior, rather than ‘not doing negative behavior’. Really, these are the same as some of the other tabs. It’s just unnecessary to have these negative messages on a board, and they don’t really…
