Ask anyone about the annual sticker drive for Starbucks
planner and they would most likely be familiar with it. Heck, almost anyone in
the work force is motivated to complete a 18-sticker booklet regardless of the
price that comes with each sticker just to get one Starbucks planner every
year! With that in mind, it’s easy to see that the Good Deed Card is such a
wonderful parenting idea. If adults go crazy over such a scheme, why not kids?
Presenting, the Good Deed Card. (By the way, this is not my
idea, which is why I included the original photo with the creator’s signature
to give credit.)
There are actually a lot of variations of the Good Deed
Card, depending on what your intentions are with the discipline of your kids. The
principle is, for every good deed (or chore, or accomplishment, etc) your child
makes, you get to punch one number off the card (or use stickers just like
Starbucks). Once you kid completes the punches or stickers on the card, he/she
is entitled to a prize.
Now, to combo the Good Deed Card with another brilliant idea
I got from Pinterest, below are rewards cards:

Each reward card entitles your kid to something special they
get to do instead of something they’re gonna
get. Well, for my kid’s sake, I inserted a few treats which she’d
“technically” still get but I did that to remove the out of the blue requests
for things like ice cream or a toy. She would still have to earn treats like
those.
If you have a colored printer, you can browse online for
card suggestions and tailor your rewards to suit your kid. Or better yet, craft
your own! The laminating part was a challenge for me because who keeps
laminating materials at home? So, if you’re interested to find out how much it
costs, don’t hesitate to comment below.
Happy parenting!
