In the 1st semester of grade 1, we develop star rewarding system (SRS) for John. It is aligned with rewarding system of school homeroom teacher. The difference is that our rewarding system is also an allowance system. A star is equal to one taiwan dollor.
John can use the money to buy some drinks or snacks whenever he want.
In school, the homeroom teacher will give kids a circle whenever they behave weill in school. When eack's circles reach 20, she will give them some stationaries such as pencils or pad as rewards. However, if kids doesn't behave well, the teach will reduce their circles.
Our rewarding system focuses on encourging positive actions. He will get rewards if he helps doing households, give good comments from school teachers or anyone, write homework well, get good score in tests, or doing well on the things we want him to become habits. The things we want him to become habits include turning on the lights when play piano or read books, put bowls into sinks when he finishes dinner.....
The SRS system work well in the 1st semeters. John is eager to get stars from time to time. We are also glad to offer stars whenever we see somehting good. John remains his star level around 80 to 150 in the 1st semester. He uses his stars 3 - 4 times and each time cost around 20 TWD. 2010-2-23
