Customizable for up to Two children
Not all reward charts are created equal. The LittleHippo Reward Chart sets your child up for success by focusing on one desired behavior at a time - getting your child to stay in bed. If they stay in bed all night, they get a star! After they accumulate enough stars, they get a reward. It's that simple - and yet oh so customizable.
START to FINISH
Use the START and FINISH magnets to choose how many days your child needs to perform the behavior until they get a reward.
Enough for Two
The kit comes with two Name Magnets and enough star magnets to track progress for two children.
OPTIONAL REWARD
The REWARD magnet is an optional “milestone” magnet, providing a smaller reward on the way to the ultimate reward.
The Bedtime Pass
Studies have confirmed the effectiveness of the Bedtime Pass, especially for children 3 and up! The Bedtime Pass is excellent to pair with the Reward Chart if you are struggling with bedtime resistance.
The Bedtime Pass is a placard that can be used once a night in exchange for a special request, glass of water, extra hug, etc. If your child calls out for you or leaves his/her room with a request, you should respond, return him/her to bed and then take the Bedtime Pass away for the night. The visit should be short (only a few minutes) and have a specific purpose (and not to play). After the Bedtime Pass has been used, all other requests should be ignored.
Recommended for Use with MELLA
The Ready for Bed Kit paired with MELLA is a the ultimate trifecta package to tackle any bedtime struggles. When using the Reward Chart with MELLA, the desired behavior should be to stay in the room until MELLA turns green!
FAQs
A card your child can trade for one short trip out of bed after lights-out, like a drink, a bathroom trip or one more hug. Once it's used, they turn it in and must stay in bed until morning. They get it back each night to use just once an evening.
It's designed for children about 3 to 10 years old.
Explain it during the day. At lights-out, give your child the pass. If they get up, the trip takes five minutes or less and they hand over the pass. After that, walk them back to bed calmly and quietly. In the morning, praise them and add a star to the chart.
That's a win. Many families let an unused pass earn an extra star on the reward chart.
Yes. The reward chart works for potty training, chores or any habit you're building.
Yes, they work even better together. An ok-to-wake clock's bedtime cues, like MELLA's sleeping face or NESSI's red light, show your child it's still bedtime, which backs up the pass. In the morning, the clock shows when it's OK to get up.
The chart's magnets are small and not safe for young children to handle unsupervised. Keep the chart out of reach, in a room outside the bedroom such as on the fridge. The acrylic bedtime pass is the piece your child keeps.
