[QUOTE="saman, post: 108342, member: 4377"] My son too has the color chart...but our's is Green (great day!) Yellow (one warning) Red (Principal's office). There's not a lot of wiggle room in that! 3 strikes you're out! Now, his teacher is great and knows his boundaries. Green days are few and far between for us. Yellow is pretty much the norm...we've had some red. I KNOW he can get green, but that takes ALL of his effort, every ounce of it. And he's still 5. I guess I always go back to that. Sometimes, they are just being 5 and being silly...and land them selves on a yellow. Man, when we get green days, there are PARTIES in our house! Ok not really parties, but in all seriousness, he has a behavior chart that comes home daily...and he's had FIVE all hands up days ALL YEAR LONG! And they are proudly displayed on my kitchen cabinet. [img]:smile:[/img] I wouldn't question what you're doing as a parent with rewards/punishments, but the ODD in kids is just one of those things that I really dont' think they have that much control over, especially at such a young age. I know my son tries VERY hard to keep things in check and I also know he has days that he doesn't try at all. It has to be such a frustrating thing to be constantly trying, trying, trying...and still not meeting adult expectations. Hang in there. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
