 MAGNET TITLES!!! February 3, 2009

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. She was soooo excited and said I'm going to do that more, etc. She even added some resp. she usually wouldn't do, cuz she wanted to get more magnets; so at the end of the week we count them, assign a monetary allowance for each magnet earned (maybe 5 cents), and she can get a little toy or treat at end of week. I figured with 7 days a week and 10 resp. she could earn around 3.50 week; that's big to her right now!!
Fun way to motivate kids and stay organized! June 3, 2007

I bought this for my 4 year old and after a few days, decided to also buy one for my 2 year old. They love them! They like working for "smilies" and make sure to do everything on their list to fill up their columns. I have also considered setting up an allowance or reward system if they get all 6 smilies for the day. My mom made a similar checklist for me when I was a kid, but this is so much easier to use and it looks a lot nicer hanging on the wall. I have been very pleased with all the Melissa & Doug products I have purchased, this is no exception!
This has been a great learning tool for my 4-year old!! January 8, 2004

We recently purchased this responsibility chart and it has been a great resource!! My 4-year old has been spending a lot of time whining and being unwilling to pick up her toys. We decided to give this a try and it has been wonderful. She runs into our room each morning and exclaims, "I made my bed- can a put a magnet on my chart?" The chart provids positive reinforcement for all types of behaviors. I especially like the magnets that focus on problem behaviors such as hitting and whining. The chart is durable, simple to use and understand, and very child focused. I have been recommending this chart to friends and family!! Another great piece by "Melissa and Doug"!!

This product was just what I needed for a five year old that was still acting like a 2 to 3 year old. With this product as a visual motivator and a bag of cheap toys as rewards, my grandaughter has went from a screaming and defiant child to a child that is eager to please and is beginning to control her actions on her own, and the changes are becoming good habits.
We had tried stickers but interest was not there. When I opened this magnetic board and put it up, she could touch it, arrange it herself, use what she wanted for the sticker and could see her results. I love this Chart. You can even tailor it to your needs anything from school, nice action, to chours that you want your child to do. And it can grow with your child. Very positive! Good training for delayed gratification.

This chart is wonderful for introducing responsibilites to your kids. It serves as a visual reminder of what they've accomplished during the week, as well as what they need to work on. My kids feel a sense of accomplishment every time they get to put a magnet on a chore they've completed. Very durable, very well-made, and very colorful. I decided to go with this particular chart because of its aesthetic appeal, and because of the Melissa & Doug name. This is definitely another high quality product from this company.
