So I considered starting him on a base-4 system given his age, but it would be very confusing to have two different amounts for the same number of points. I simply kept his chart at a base-6 but with a lower expectation of potential. So his true potential would be 24 points over the course of 5 days, while my 7 year olds is 42 points over 8 days.
We worked together to come up with the tasks that he should be expected to do. Most of them he was already doing but we added a few more.
Since I am keeping them both on the points systems most of the things he works toward now have a point value instead of a monetary value. For instance a lightsaber was worth 80 points, and a trip to Check E Cheese is worth 60. I will keep trying to insert the diagram of the updated chart below, but right now the file is not cooperating :/
