Healthy Eating Week with SSAFA Community Health Team

 

Celebrate the small wins! ⭐ 
  • Did they try a bite of broccoli? Yay! 
  • Did they sit through the meal without fussing? Amazing! 
Positive reinforcement builds confidence. 💪


The Mason Jar Reward System: A Fun Way to Encourage Positive Behaviour!

Looking for a simple and effective way to motivate your child and reinforce good behaviour? Try the Mason Jar Reward System! It’s a great visual tool that encourages children to make good choices while having fun.  

How it Works:
1️⃣ Choose a Goal – Decide on behaviours you want to encourage (e.g., sitting at the dinner table, having something new on their plate, trying the new food).
2️⃣ Set Up the Jar – Label a mason jar with your child’s name or decorate it together for extra excitement.  
3️⃣ Use Small Rewards – Fill the jar with marbles, pom-poms, or beads each time they demonstrate the desired behaviour.  
4️⃣ Celebrate Progress – Once the jar is full, let them choose a small reward (extra playtime, a fun outing, or a special toy).  


Why It Works: 
✅ Teaches children that positive actions lead to positive outcomes.  
✅ Provides a visual representation of their progress, keeping them motivated.  
✅ Encourages consistency and responsibility in a fun and engaging way.
