WHAT IS THE BANK OF SNOOTZ?

The Bank of Snootz is an incentive program to help children learn better behavior. It is like a star or sticker chart with a twist. The twist is that many important people in the child's life can participate and reward a child's behavior. if a parent wants to, he or she can enlist the aid of teachers, other family members, friends, babysitters or anyone else that has the opportunity to observe or reward the behavior in the incentive program.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The program starts off with "The Deal." The Deal is a simple statement about a behavior and a reward. An example of a deal would be as follows:

Jimmy will earn _____________ (snoots) every time he does this:

____________________________________________

When Jimmy reaches _________________(some number between one and one hundred) snootz he will earn this prize or privilege:

The first blank in the sentence above refers to the reward. In The Bank of Snootz incentive program the reward is an imaginary type of money called a "snoot." Snootz are kept track of using the analogy of a bank. Parents and other important people have access to the child's bank book. They go online and deposit snootz whenever the behavior specified (that would be the second blank line) is done. When the child reaches a spcified number of 'snootz" he will earn a prize or privilege specified in "the deal")

When you come to bankofsnootz.com you login with a username and a password which are purchased when you register for the site. Registration costs $7.95.

When "Guest Helpers" are given access to an account there is no fee for that.

AN EXAMPLE:

Let's say the Smith Family wants to work with Joey about not using bad language.

1. Mom or Dad registers for $7.95 and they get a site username and password.

2. From there they login and "Add an Account" at the bank. When an account is added a unique account name needs to be chosen and a password for that account needs to be chosen.

3. The parent(s) can then add "snootz" the account they created. Snootz can be checked or added at the "Show Snootz" menu.

4. The parents can also enlist the aid of other "Guest Helpers" to add snootz. In order to do that, they must provide the account name and password (NOT THE SITE USERNAME AND PASSWORD), to the Guest Helper. Guest helpers can go to:

www. bankofsnootz.com/guesthelper.php

and add to the account whenever they want to.

5. A parent can also provide Guest Helpers with a paper from they can print out fromn the site, in case the Guest Helper does not want to participate online.
