I always expected the behavior to be good as well.That being said I did use a "good "chart for my own son the year he was 4.He was such a "pill".I had 3 other children 2 older 1 younger and he would act out for attention.I only cared for my own at the time. We did it for 6 months then it faded away.In DC I started the "go home sticker".Children had gotten crazy at pickup.All parents showed up at once closing time.Parents couldn't seem to get the kids in their cars without tears.So I started the stickers.Each child greeted their parent and left holding hands.At the door they picked a sticker and off they went happily.Only 2 times did someone not get a sticker. I would definitely talk to Mom. Then if child continued he would sit at the table with a book on arrival for a few minutes while his friends had free play.
