[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 327705, member: 7916"] A thought on reward systems: For my son, an all or nothing approach does not work. He needs an incremental system. For example, we migh tel him to finish his homework in 15 minuts (he's in 1st grade) with no fuss and he can have 15 minutes on the Wii. If he fusses, I might knock it down to 12 minutes and so on. We do the same think with his allowance ($1/day). Bad behavior loses a quarter, but it can be earned back through exceptionally good behavior. His time horizon is very short, so this works. You are not a bad mother, but you and your son need some help to cope with all of this better. Keep coming back here...we are all very understanding. [/QUOTE]
