Free Printable Behavior Sticker Charts

Wanting to try a new behavior modification tool with your kiddo? Look no further than these printable behavior sticker charts. They’re an effective way to promote behavior changes and track your child’s progress. The first step to using a behavior chart is clearly defining what behavior you want to see more or less of from your child.

Customize visual schedules that teach kids independence. No more nagging, no more stress.

It’s important that you talk to your kid about the new expectations. To set them up for success, you must help them understand how the desired behavior changes will benefit them. Express how the new behavior is more constructive and healthy. This will increase their motivation to achieve their goals. 

When discussing the behavior sticker chart with your child, ask them if the goals on their chart seem doable. You may need to adapt the goals and take baby steps. Learn what motivates them, and choose stickers that excite them. The way parents or caregivers approach the chart must be consistent and positive.

Using Behavior Sticker Charts

It’s helpful to have a visual reminder for kids to see what they’re working towards. You can also try to gamify the use of the behavior sticker chart. Choose rewards for good behavior that will reinforce the behavior changes you want to see from your kiddo. Check out our behavior sticker charts below!

Consistent use of the printable sticker chart will increase the chances of making long-lasting behavior changes. Remember that not everyone learns at the same pace. There are bound to be slip-ups and mistakes. Staying positive is essential so your child doesn’t feel like the behavior sticker chart is a punishment.    

It can be helpful to include all of the child’s caregivers and make them aware of the new goals for behavior. When everyone around the child knows about the expectations, they can better support them in reforming their behaviors. Keep the behavior sticker chart somewhere the child will see it often.
