My children respond extremely well to progress charts.  I’ve used them in practically every endeavor in training or discipline since they were toddlers (including potty training).  Now that they’re older, they are keen to start earning money and privileges and once again I find myself in need of a chart to help them monitor their efforts.

Since I just bought my very first iPhone, I was positively thrilled to find out about this cool app called iRewardChart.  This handy-dandy little application lets you create and customize unique reward charts for each child, set goals, and tracks progress.

Here’s what I love about it:

• It’s on my phone so I can immediately apply rewards (or penalties) when behaviors happen, even if we’re not at home.
• You can add AND remove stars easily to the chart.
• When they were younger, they loved having stickers to add to the chart, but now that they are older they are obsessed with my phone and my laptop, so it’s an added bonus to let them add their own stars when they earn them.

There are two versions–a free one and a paid one.  The free version only lets you have one chart and obviously has less features than the paid version.

I’m very impressed with how easy to use and helpful it is.  Check it out yourself!
