Token Economy: Personal Responsibility, Affection, & Interests

Families establish token economies with reward charts, star charts, and a system of rewarding desired behaviors.  These reward systems can provide structure and consistency.  Some issues to consider at home life include the value of encouraging personal responsibility (i.e. rewarding all work takes away from the value of being a family contributor), the problem of using affection as a reward, and the problem of undermining intrinsic motivation when parents reward interests.
