ABSTRACT:
A behavior tracking board provides for the recording and monitoring of the general behavior of individuals. The board is particularly well suited for use in families having one or more small children, where it may be used to monitor their behavior over a predetermined period of time (e.g., one week) for the determination of rewards or punishment based upon the behavior for that period. The present tracking board is also adaptable to school and day care environments, and is capable of providing separate behavior monitoring tracks for a large group of children or individuals. Another embodiment is directed to the monitoring of allowance and monetary reward, and is particularly suited for tracking the behavior of teens. The board basically comprises one or more horizontal rows, with each row corresponding to a single individual or child. Each of the rows includes a movable marker captured in a track therealong, with the markers initially each being placed to the extreme right end of their respective tracks. As the time period progresses, the markers are moved leftward along the track when less than desirable behavior by the person being monitored, occurs. Alternatively, markers could initially be centrally positioned, and moved to the right for exemplary behavior and to the left for less than desirable behavior. Various means of hanging or supporting the board are also disclosed, as well as a method of monitoring behavior using the present board.
