He does much better with visuals and it’s taken a little while but he is successfully doing his chore chart daily.
We reward him at the end of the week.
He gets excited about picking each magnet out for the day.
It was easy to hang, the magnets stick with no problem.
It comes with plenty of options as well as two blank magnets that you can add your own chore.
We have tried multiple other charts and stickers and they never hold up.
This one is wooden and very sturdy.

This one is wooden and very sturdy.
So up they went, he and I agreed on the categories for each girl, and defined who would put the magnets on and when (we would do it as a 'family' each night before bedtime) and the 'reward' we decided after they got 20 magnets, a defined $ salary would be deposited into their 'account' (we just put a piece of paper beside each board with a running total of how much $ was in their 'account'. When they got 20, we took all the magnets off and started again! (btw - during the collection period, we did also reserve the right to remove magnets for serious infractions - like adding magnets on your own, removing magnets from your sister's board, or particularly poor behavior (being asked to perform a regular task (set/clear table) and refusing could result in a magnet being removed).
We just finished our first 20 (it took 2 weeks cause he only has them part time - which also means we had to get creative and we don't use the 'days').
The girls loved it!! They totally got into it immediately. They make their bed each morning, have tidied up their room, bathroom and playroom with just one request, take turns setting and clearing the table each night for dinner, work extra hard to remember their pleases and thank yous (even remind each other!) and seek out opportunities to share and more readily apologize to each other etc... Homework time has also become easier, with the younger one asking for homework to be assigned to her if she doesn't have any from school! Again, these are children that didn't have to do anything - and were never asked to either.
When we put the $ amount on their Account for achieving their first 20 magnets each, we told the girls they have choices now... They can save the $ up and eventually spend it (or keep saving it) for something really big/important, or they can spend part of it and save some, or spend all of it and have none left ---- Both girls (shockingly!!!) said they wanted to save it! We had them both set a goal - the little one said $100 and the older said $30 was her goal. Next time we go to the toy store, we will remind them they have $ to spend, and they can choose to spend it or save it toward their goal, but it will be marked on their account back home so they can visually see the amount go up and down.
This is interesting to say the least - but Dad is now totally on board, and it helped that the two of us figured out the rules and how this would work before hand so we are a united front.
For those that had trouble with the magnets sticking - this may sound stupid - but there is a very thin plastic film on the board to protect it during shipping - perhaps you didn't remove that (its hard to notice)? Our magnets hold very well
Some requests:
the days are great for families that have their kids all the time, but doesn't work so well for part-time families... So we covered the days with "Dad's Choice" and "Play with Pets" label magnets and put the stars above them. Then for all the other labels, we just keep a running line of magnets. It works fine.
It would be nice if there was a spot to write the Name of the kid on the board.
Agree with another reviewer about negative things "no whining" was an example. I kind of scoffed when I first read that in a review, but now I realize they don't work all that well. Kids will whine and tease etc... I'm finding the apologize to someone and sharing etc... are working better.
Other than that- absolutely LOVE!
I chose this particular chart because I liked the format of it in terms of breaking out the chores by day. I also like that it's reusable and customizable. The magnet system allows you to change up the chores every week. I will also say that I think a lot of the chores printed on the magnets tend to be more appropriate for kids under 5. It's really basic stuff like brush your teeth and take a bath. I'm still using some really basic chores like "pick up toys" because my step-daughters were way behind where most kids heir ages would be. Their mom is a slob and their dad did everything for them. My main objective was teaching responsibility since it would actually be easier for me to do everything, but they are too old to be rewarded for combing their hair. I let them choose four pretty basic chores each week that they are expected to do, and then we use the bottom row for "bonus chores". Those are more difficult tasks that they can choose to help with if they want to earn extra money, or I'll tell them to add a smiley face to that row when I see them doing something especially nice for someone else or something that shows initiative. There are blank chore magnets that you can customize, I just write a chore on a small sticky note and cover up the original chore. I do this mostly for the almost 9 year old as she needs something a little more challenging. Her favorites are running the stick vac and watering the plants.
I bought one for each girl because there isn't enough room on one chart for more than one child unless they only have one or two chores. There also isn't a place to label a child's name to distinguish their chores from their sibling's.
I also removed the bottom part with all of the extra smiley faces & chores because it was so heavy and somewhat of an eyesore. We just lined the top and bottom with the smiley faces and we keep the chore magnets in a shoe box.
The girls love these charts. They love having responsibilities - no matter how small - and they feel so much pride and excitement when they get to place the smiley faces on there. I actually took them down for a week or two because my husband said that he only wanted his kids to do fun things during their time with us. They immediately noticed that they were gone and were very upset about it. They searched the entire house until they found them. I recently found out that their mom bought the exact same charts so that she could implement the same system at her house - LOL!!

I wished I knew about this a year ago. My son and nephew have benefited a ton with this( age 5.5 & 6 yrs) .
I wish I had started this at age 4
Secondly, once we set it up and showed it to our little boy he showed masses of enthusiasm for it, there is a first!
We have tried alsorts but this seems to be the only reward chart that has had an instant effect, we picked the Please and Thank you magnet first last night, and explained what he needed to do to get a smiley face, after that it's been please and thank you ever since.
Brilliant!
And well made and packafged to boot!
