Transcription:
A token economy system will work with children from three years old through their teens. The younger kids, you want it to be visual and bright and fun and really tune into their personalities and what motivates them.
For teenagers, it could be a simple calendar with an X or a plus or a minus. Money is a good motivator for teenagers, so it could be tied into their allowance. Time spent together, if they want something special, an event, something like that can work for teenagers, but, of course, you are going to have to be a little more adult with your system.
