Week 7 Rewards & Incentives 8 week course
Week 7 Rewards and Incentives
In this session we’ll be looking at planning how to manage child behaviour using Rewards and Incentives, which enable parents to give attention to good behaviour.
7:30 Welcome & Agenda
7:40 Review
Remind the parents that the subject we covered last week was Clear Instructions.
Ask if anyone have any interesting results after last week that they would like to share, or any questions they would like to ask. Once any sharing has finished, hold up a copy of the One to One Time Diary which you handed out last week and ask how their One to One time assignments went; ask
Did anyone have anything to share about the One to One time assignment? Any problems? Any questions?

Rewards and Incentives
7:55 Powerpoint Presentation
You now give a short presentation about Rewards and Incentives
8:00 Exercise in pairs
In this exercise we’re going to start to put together a reward chart.
Most parents will have multiple children so ask them to start with one of the younger children because they are simpler to reward.
Assign the parents into pairs and ask them to turn to the Reward Chart Exercise in their Parenting Workbooks.
If parents only have older (ie only 8 years old and above), ask them to turn to the Incentive Chart exercise in their Parenting Workbooks.
Ask them to work together to list three things they would like their child to do, and six possible rewards or incentives to suggest. The children can then choose which rewards they prefer (or can suggest others).
8:20 Group Discussion
Bring the pairs back into the group as a whole and ask them:
· For those who planned a reward chart for a younger child, what possible low cost or no cost rewards did they come up with?
· For those who planned an incentive chart for older children what incentives did they come up with?
It’s quite possible they might inspire each other with fresh ideas
8:25 Home Assignment and Goodbye
Hand out copies of the One to One Time diary, explain how to use it and ask them to fill it in over the week for discussion next week.
