Breakthrough, LLc and Vlinder
Simply put it’s positive reinforcement.
Sometimes you give your child a smile which is rewarding enough. That’s how simple this game is. You get to use what you’ve learned along the way to help reinforce new behaviors that you want your child to hold on to.
Operant Learning
Operant Conditioning is when your child learns a lesson because they learned an association between a behavior and a reward or consequence.
Reward vs Bribery
I’ve written an entire blog on this subject. In short…a bribe is when you are offering payment at the moment to stop a behavior. No planning and no conversation. A reward is an arrangement that is discussed prior to any situation and is agreed upon. Especially with regards to playing Vlinder, this subject is non-negotiable.
Bummer Cards
Bummer cards are cards placed in the pack to be funny. They can be taken out at any time if the family does not feel that they serve a purpose.
Interactive Task Sheet
There are two different types of Task Sheets. One that you can make on your own, online. That is the Interactive Task Sheet. There is also one that is premade.
Consultations
Consultations are available. They vary in price but normally run about $40/hour. Consultations are by appointment only.

Understand the Background of Immediate Reward Now
How many times have you promised something to your kids only to let time get the better of you and either forget or procrastinate? It happens to the best of us but it is one of the worst things you can do when utilizing a positive reinforcement model.
Who Said Anything About Heros?
So, when my 10-year-old casually asked me to watch something funny from his favorite you-tuber the next time, you better bet I was right by his side. I wasn’t there to judge what he thought was funny. I was there as a spectator for what was going on around the game.
Immediate Reward? Would You Still Work Without a Paycheck?
A reason to reward as soon as possible is that you want to make sure that your child associates the reward with the positive behavior that he or she performed. If too much time goes by then the impact is not as great and they may not feel the fulfillment of a job well done.
