This is the fun one! This large (16" x 22"), black and white chart is designed to help you acknowledge and reward godly attitudes and behaviour. The left-hand column lists good character qualities, with cartoon drawings – peacemaking, truthfulness, obedience, diligence, and others. The center column quotes Scripture verses that tell how God blesses us when these qualities are present in our lives. The right-hand column is blank. The chart comes with a booklet of ideas for creative rewards that relate to God’s rewards in our lives. For example, under "peacemaking" one of the verses listed is Matthew 23:12, which says that "he who humbles himself will be exalted."

God blesses us for our faithfulness and obedience. Use this chart to help y...

This large (16" x 22"), black and white chart is designed to help you be more consistent in disciplining your children. When they disobey, it will help you know what you need to do, and it will help them know what to expect. It helps both parents to be more united in their authority and discipline. The chart is divided into 3 columns. The left-hand column lists common areas of misbehavior (arguing, complaining, hitting, defiance, etc.), each illustrated with a simple cartoon. The center column gives a Bible verse related to each sin. The third column is blank, for you to write in the agreed-upon consequences for each misbehavior. The instructions offer suggestions, but you choose your own disciplinary actions. You can cut out the pre-lettered consequences and glue them onto your chart, or write in your own. When a child misbehaves, take him to the chart, read the Scripture, and let him see what the discipline will be. Even a 2-year-old can understand!
