Ammon is so full of life that he struggles to settle down and go to bed. We were needing to help him learn to settle down and sleep better, so the star chart was born.
Everyday he could earn up to 5 stars.
1 for getting ready for bed (getting pj's on & brushing teeth).
1 for getting into bed and happily saying his prayer.
1 for staying in bed all night. Which means no reading after lights out, getting up and no talking with Simeon.
1 for getting up in the morning quickly and happily.
If he gets all 4 stars then he earns a BONUS star for the day.
It took him 4 full weeks to earn his 100 stars. Week 3 he figured it out and earned EVERY star he could that week!!! Week 4 wasn't a perfect week, but he still did good.
His prize he wanted to earn-a Skylander Gaint. He decided on getting Swarm and earning another 100 stars for another Skylander.
Ammon has made some very good habits this past month and it has helped not only him be happier since he's getting better sleep, but has also helped our family be happier and calmer.
