Sticker Charts
Sticker charts are one concrete way for a child to visually see their progress towards meeting a goal or end. This allows the child to have a better understanding and predictability of the future.
Sticker charts provide a source of external motivation for a child. Seeing their success over time, even with set backs, accompanied by caregiver praise and opportunities for a child to share their experience, can help increase a child’s self confidence and feelings of pride; fostering internal motivation.
Sticker Charts are a way for a child to feel like they have control over their participation in their medical experience and it is happening with them, rather than feeling like the medical experience is only happening to them.
