How to Use This Sleep Manners ChartTo fill in your own manners and customize this chart:

• Download to your computer.• Be sure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (available free here).• Customize with your own manners, child's name, and start on any day.

Using the chart:• Choose 4-5 manners that best apply to your child.• Use positive language (Use "do's" instead of "don't's").• Have one manner that is easy to achieve.• Explain the sleep manners you have on your chart, and that your child will receive a sticker for each

manner in the morning when they wake up. Do this every night.• Review the chart each morning. Make sure you have your child's undivided attention.• Praise behaviors you saw and give stickers for those. Give lots of hugs too.• Explain the behaviors you would like to see more of.

This sticker chart is not used as a reward chart. A sticker is often not incentive enough to stay in bed!The sleep manners chart helps you and your child work on expectations in a simple, concrete manner. It also helps break down the changes you are working on together and makes them feel more manageable. The chart alone may not "solve" your child's sleep problem but it is a helpful parenting tool!
