This is really the name of the game for us. Josie is learning so many behaviors that I'm sure it must seem overwhelming. She loves to do a good job, and we try to find lots of ways to praise her - and if they fit the "hip and girly" brand all the better.
One thing we added recently we call merit badges. Basically these are funky colorful cutouts upon which we write desired behaviors or goals. We leave som blank for the many occassions she surprises us with some great display of being hip and friendly (and well behaved.) Recent badges include "Awesome Effort," "Doing Buttons," and "Great Homework Attitude." For some really great accomplishments we have even taken pictures and posted them on her board. That visual reinforcement is awesome!
