[QUOTE="navineja, post: 305821, member: 4278"] My girls also need the motivation of the instant gratification, but I want them to learn to wait as well. Therefore, I use a visual points system. They each have a clear plastic cup into which I put a penny for each point earned. (Marbles, poker chips, etc could be used instead of pennies.) This way they have a visual of how well they are doing. At the end of the day, the points (pennies) can be turned in for a small reward or they can be saved for a larger one later. As for the video game question, my opinion is that he could be allowed to use a certain number of points for the games (one point= 1 minute, for example). But all video game time has to be earned. If video games are what motivates him, then you could also offer bonus time for multiple good days (if he earns __ number of points for 2 days in a row, then 10 bonus minutes, 3 days in a row= 15 bonus minutes, etc). HTH! Naomi [/QUOTE]
