He will be jealous if his sister gets rewarded for going to bed and he doesn't. Any suggestions?

Make that boy his own sticker chart and reward him for just being a good boy!!! You can also give him chores to do and he gets a sticker for doing his chores. It doesn't have to be huge things. It can be setting the table for dinner, picking up his toys, making his bed, etc. Anything to help around the house will do. It sounds like you can make a special area for a sticker that is used because they both are being good. Sometimes we forget to praise our kids when they are being good. If they are playing well, reading a book, watching TV ,
etc, put a sticker in the special box. Remember though, don't take away a sticker once it's earned.
