Token economy

A token economy is like a game with tokens that you get as a reward when you do something good. It's like when you get a gold star for being a good listener or for doing your chores without being asked.

In a token economy, the tokens could be things like stickers, coins, or other small objects. When you do something good, you get a token as a reward. Maybe you get a token for sharing your toys or for being kind to your friends.

Then, you can use your tokens to buy something you want, like a candy or a toy. It's like having your own little store where you can spend your tokens on things that make you happy.

A token economy is often used to help people learn new behaviors or improve their behavior. For example, if you have trouble sitting still in class, your teacher might use a token economy to reward you for sitting still and paying attention.

It's a fun way to learn how to be responsible, to care for others, and to be a good friend.
