Description

Summary:
Sticker charts may look fun, but they don’t always build the skills kids really need. In this episode, Isa shares why she stopped using them years ago, what she noticed in her classroom, and simple alternatives that work better.

Learn how calm corners, class agreements, shout-outs, and even drawing reflections can help children feel proud, take ownership, and grow without relying on prizes.
