[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 468897, member: 6705"] Well... I can only tell you what seems to work better with my son. I'm working on it, because it DOES work better, it's just not easy. When you talk about "losing" TV, it's a reaction to bad behavior. And it's hard to turn it around to "earning" TV with good behavior. Dessert is a reward for finishing your meal, nothing to do with behavior at all otherwise. If you throw food instead of eating it, you didn't finish, therefore no dessert. (Then again, we rarely have dessert, so maybe I'm being preachy.) Last weekend, Jett lied about chores, and the video games and TV were turned OFF. He turned the TV on later, down to almost no sound so we wouldn't hear. He got caught when I went in to ask if he liked the apple bread I made and saw the remote on the sofa next to him, then the reflection in the window. BUSTED. I took the remote. Later that night, he was told "honor system" and that he had to ask before he played/watched, and if he was caught sneaking them, it would be a week without. He asked. I said not yet, ask me again in an hour. He forgot to ask for a while. If consequences don't work, maybe turn them around - behavior good, chores done, TV available??? [/QUOTE]
