[QUOTE="klmno, post: 224891, member: 3699"] Hi. ML!! Before difficult child got depressed and unstable in general, I was requiring him to do what HAD to be done that day before he could start on games on school nights. So, the sooner chores and homework were done, the more time he had on games. Of course, he'd have to stop to eat, take shower, etc, and be in bed on time. I don't have a problem with my son choosing to stay in and play instead of going outside to move around- I'm typically trying to get mine "reeled" in LOL! But, you could probably say he has to do something outside for 45 mins first or something like that. On weekends, it's a little tougher. But the main thing I learned with my son is that things go smoother when the general rule is to do what is necessary before play time. If it's a weekend and I let him play 30 mins before chores but he pushes the limit on that, then I reduce or eliminate time he could have had on it later. [/QUOTE]
