Benefits of using charts and contracts - More opportunity for success-charts and contracts outline attainable goals. Instead of overwhelming children with a large expectation that may be abstract and intimidating, these tools allow for incremental improvement and growth, with positive reinforcement at milestones along the way.
- Improved self-esteem-charts and contracts provide an easy and immediate way for children to monitor their own progress. When children can clearly see their improvement over time, they feel better about themselves and their abilities. Goals tend to seem more attainable.
- Better communication between parents and children-charts and contracts are tangible agreements that clearly outline both parents' and children's expectations. It is very easy to track whether both parties have lived up to their end of the agreement, so conflicts tend to be reduced.
