[QUOTE="Sharon1974, post: 14738, member: 2976"] We use checklists. One is for morning routine, one if for afterschool routine, and one is for evening routine. I try to keep it positive, so JK earns stickers for completing each item in the routine on time and earns a reward when the sticker chart is full. If an item is not done correctly or on time - no sticker. It seems to work for him. The evening routine must be completed and he must be IN BED by 8:00pm in order to have a story. Any item completed after 8:00pm does not earn a sticker. His reward for completing a sticker chart is a dollar and he can save them up to buy what he wants. I think this helps with money management too since everytime he wants something I tell him to save up his money. I keep the sticker chart taped in an area that he can easily see so that he can monitor his progress and tell him how proud of him I am when he is earning lots of stickers. I try to downplay non-compliance with the routine so that he doesn't know it bothers me - and that seems to be working because he gets his charts at the appropriate times and checks the items off himself. If homework is not done then he can't have a playdate. Late out the door to school means you have to get up 10 minutes earlier the next day. Not in bed on time means no reading time, etc. [/QUOTE]
