We have been following a point system to reward good behavior for Kavya and Ishaan for past 3-4 months. Ishaan's goal has been to get 100 points so that he can earn the lightsaber! He has been asking for it since he saw the Star War movies. Kavya does not want anything in particular (I like to think of it as she has everything :) ) So, she is little less enthusiastic about it.
The way it works is that they earn points for doing good things. Some things are already called out. For example, Ishaan can get a point if he reads 3 books. Kavya can get a point if she reads 1 book (since hers are chapter books with 80 to 100 pages). If Ishaan does not come to me in the middle of the night, he can earn a point. Or sometimes, they can earn a point on-the-fly for just being nice or helping out.
Ishaan has been dedicatedly working towards his goal - meticulously keeping track of his points making sure not a single point is forgotten. He even got upset and threw tantrum if we talk about taking a point away for his bad behavior. Finally, he made it to 100 points today and earned his lightsaber. He was so happy and proud to earn his reward.
Keep it up, little Ishaan. Just work on your temper a little :)
