[QUOTE="SkunkMomma, post: 256652, member: 470"] StressBunny--- Your situation sounds so much like mine. This is what we have started....I don't really believe in rewarding for good behavior but the lying caught us off guard and it was over small things...I can not stand lying so we started a money jar. Now he is 16 so $1.00 a day is baby stuff but it is working with him because his maturity level is so low. We add $1.00 a day for doing what is expected---no smart mouth--doing chores without being told --no lying etc... We started him out with $10.00. My difficult child loves to do things with the church group or a small group of friends but built into this deal he has to earn enough money to go to these places. He doesn't have to pay his way or buy food but the money is given back to us so that he can get the priviledge to go (we'll provide other money if he needs it) But if he lies at all he pays us a $1.00 for each lie).
