Oh go on, have a go at making one. It will mean more to your son if he has had a hand in colouring in and even designing the chart. Discuss with him what criteria he will need to fulfill in each category to achieve a reward. You might find he gets to grips with it easier if he has helped. It doesn't have to be a meaningful work of art, but relevant to him. After all , look how proud of our childrens artwork we can be!
Add pictures to it of things that mean something to him, dogs, horses, Arsenal, etc or get him to cut pics out from the Argos catalogue or similar (with help if necessary) of the rewards he would like. Varnished sweeties are good too.
You might have to do a fair bit of the work but lots of praise for anything he does towards it, perhaps with a few stars, will all help.
Good Luck.

Have a go!! go on
Have you got a wh smiths near you...they sell single sheets of different size card.Let himn pick his fav colour and then go to somewhere like woolies and let him choose some colouring pens,sticky stars etc. If he is keen on something buy a magazine...for example my youngest lad is car mad so I'd buy him a car mag and cut out some nice piccys....then just have fun.
Finally if you don't want to do it again buy some sticky back clear plastic and cover it,,,you can then peel off the stars and start again!!

What about you and he decide together what he should get stars for ie getting dressed first time of being asked, putting schoolbag in correct place, etc. Then give one star for each thing he does correctly. So 10 'instructions' a day. Keep the same instructions every day - that is important for his routine. He can't say ever that he wasn't aware what he was supposed to do. Aim for about 80-90% stars achieved to get a small reward each week (a comic, some special sweets that he doesn't have to share unless he wants to, etc). Then at the end of the month if he has got the reward each week promise him something of greater value.
One of the boys in my class has something similar at school - he gets to choose football stickers one for each correct thing (5 max per day). On Friday p.m we sit together to stick them in his sticker book - the rewards are give to me by his Mum as an incentive to do well at school. He has challenging behaviour!
