[QUOTE="Star*, post: 124700, member: 4964"] Is there anything written into your house rules that allows him to be or feel successful about keeping a simple rule.. Like Take the trash out without fail every day for 1 week - reward - new shirt? We didn't even tell difficult child there WAS a reward the first time - we just got in the car and headed to the movies - when we got there he asked what we were doing and we said "You've just done X so well we actually felt like REWARDING you with a movie, - he was so tickled he never asked for popcorn or a drink - and thanked us when we were through. Usually when I made the 'rules' I forgot the bennies - And difficult child never said a word because he figured there were no bennies- NOW - when we have a house rule - and he does well - there is a short term reward. It's doing tons for his self esteem - and we're seeing that we have to be a little LESS stringent on the bigger things. But my kid has zero self esteem. So that's only our goal. Just thinking out loud. [/QUOTE]
