Wa Alaikum Salam Umm Adil,

It works wonders with Kindergarten through 6th graders. I’ve had great success with my 7th through 9th graders as well. May Allah bless you with success.

This is actually a really good way to “transform” the Star Chart. Thank you for the idea. I think I’m going to use it for teaching my little brother insha’Allah :)

Bismillah Arahman Araheem

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatu Sister Farah,

Thank you so much and Jazakalakhair for sharing the book “Punished by Rewards” with me. I’ve heard about this subject and had actually been intending to read up on it. I look forward to learning more about it, insha’Allah.

I agree with you. There are many ways to encourage our children to develop a joy for learning and to help them behave more appropriately without using incentive charts. In fact, I specifically mention 24 different ways we can guide our children’s behavior in a respectful, loving, and patient manner in my e-book DISCIPLINE WITHOUT DISRESPECTING: DISCOVER THE HIDDEN SECRETS OF HOW TO EFFECTIVELY DISCIPLINE YOUR MUSLIM CHILD–AND KEEP YOUR PEACE OF MIND WHILE AT IT, found on my website at http://www.grandmajeddah.com.

Grandma Jeddah’s articles are intended to help Muslim parents find ways of guiding their children to proper behavior with respect and compassion, similar to the way our Prophet Muhammad (saw) managed the young around him according to hadith. This objective can certainly be achieved in a host of ways.

I have a personal fondness for incentive charts because I have found them to be remarkably successful in managing the behavior of my 11 children, those of my 13 grandchildren that I am in contact with, and many of the 100’s of students I have taught for over 30 years, Masha’Allah.

Jazakalakhair, again, and may Allah bless you and your family with the good of this world and the hereafter and protect you from the hellfire.
