“Give Me Five!" by Tiptoe is a simple magnetic Reward Chart that helps children develop in areas such as sleeping, eating, toileting, general behaviour and school goals. It is aimed at 3 to 8 year olds, and has also been used successfully with children with additional needs.
Give Me Five! is unique in that it has 25 visual rewards representing fun family activities (e.g. beach visit, flying a kite ) and 6 sets of fingertip magnets to enable parents and children to personalise it each time it is used.
The fingertip magnets include sets of toilets, beds and plates of healthy food, to further reinforce goals related to toileting, sleeping and eating, as well as other sets e.g dinosaurs and dolphins, to use when working on general behaviour and school goals.
Give Me Five is not a toilet training tool for very young children, who need to be developmentally ready for this to take place. It may, however, help to encourage the reluctant 3, 4 or 5 year old to “have a go!”
Give Me Five is designed to be used for a short while. It is meant to be the visual focus of a number of positive strategies used by parents to work on a certain issue. It is then packed away to be used at a later date, for a different child or another issue.
