For the sake of this piece, I will refer to "good" or "positive" behaviors. This is not to argue that children are "bad" if they do not reach the goals of the behavior chart. Children should never be classified as such, and this is not a "good conduct or else" requirement. The term "bad" should not be used with youngsters; only positive support toward a common goal should be utilized. Children should not be penalized for falling short of their goals; instead, they should be praised when they achieve them.
