[QUOTE="Andy, post: 214991, member: 5096"] Last year we had charts for my difficult child. Two charts. One listed everything (very detailed) of how he can earn points. Every chore we could think of - pick up clothes, pick up dishes, brush teeth, clean bathroom, to bed by 8:00, ect. The other was how he would loose points - talking back, tantrum, hand on car handle before car stopped, ect. I tried to focus on the positive - You earn points for doing what is right, if you do not pick up your clothes or brush your teeth, you do not get points but you also do not loose points. The points taken away were for those behaviors that you could not reward by doing - you can't give points for not talking back. I even gave points for times in the day that were harder to behave - 15 points if there is no trouble (didn't loose points) from 4:00 - 5:30, ect. When the chart started, I had to give the actual points a few times each day because waiting an entire day was too hard. Giving the results out every few hours helped him focus on the chart. We bought poker chips - white for 5 points, red for 25 points, and blue for 50 points. We paid him in poker chips which he could save and spend as wanted. We had a third chart listing the cost of some rewards - Donut, movie at theater, movie at home, game with mom, ect. difficult child made each of the three posters. Poster board and a variety of colored markers. This worked for several months for us. [/QUOTE]
