Reward charts, motivation and your wallet.

I recently found some really cool reward charts and use them as a feeding tool (go to my Pinterest board for ideas on printable reward charts).  I usually tell my kid upfront she needs to do oral exercises and feeding.  Once she finishes, then she gets the reward or treasure.  However, sooner than later I found myself buying too many toys as treasures that were costing a fortune and really ended up forgotten and buried in one of her storage drawers.

So, I had to come up with a plan.  I researched and found a cool answer in Oriental Trading.  They have treasure chests...full of assorted toys for a reasonable price ($17) that can last months. You can also do your own treasure chest.  Check some ideas on my Pinterest Board.

Motivation is key for feeding and kids can get bored.  Throwing a curveball here and there can make a huge difference.
