I tried, the get out of bed tickets, i tried giving her 4 pennies/night and each time she’d get up she’d have to give one up, I tried sticker charts, i tried, a similar chart to this one where the chart had rows of cupcakes and she got to color in one for each night she stayed in bed, any color she chose.However, kids should not be encouraged to clear their plates but rather to listen to their bodies and their own hunger cues. Take an industrial designer who loves his work and try to get him to do better by making his pay contingent on a hit product – and he’ll almost certainly work like a maniac in the short term, but become less interested in his job in the long term. Set your own rules for bedtime, explain them clearly to your child so they understand what is expected of them, then reward them with a sticker on their chart every time they complete a task.
