Motivate good behavior with marbles

Here's a simple system to encourage good behavior. Every time your child does something properly, provide a marble to put into a clear jar. Notable achievements, such as an improvement in a grade, also earn marbles. Poor behavior costs your child marbles. When the jar is full, the whole family gets a treat. Keep the jar in a visible spot where your child can watch it get full and remember that good behavior benefits everyone.
