[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 569875, member: 1514"] JJJ....I found out much too late to be able to use this with Cory but I figured out Cory was very motivate by money. I really think if I could have paid him to go to school and maintain a certain level of behavior and grades we may not have had as much of an issue. I wish I had thought of it. However it would have had to have been weekly and not what I thought was a good plan of paying for grades. I did do that and it didnt work. It was too far out. They simply couldnt see that far out. I did the 10 for an A, 7 for a B and 5 for a C and nothing for less than that. That was in early grades. In HS, it went to 15, 10 and 5. Still too far out. If I had it to do over I would pay Cory $5 a week to behave in school and another 5 a week to make good grades. I would just say good grades because together we knew what was good for him depending on the classes. That would have been far less than the gas I paid going to all the therapy appointments...lol. i truly think that would have worked. He will work harder than anything or anyone to make money. I think if he then saw that at the end of the 9 weeks he got the bonus which is basically how it works in the real world, then he would have really worked hard. Most people do work for a paycheck at the end of each week and then look forward to their end of the year bonus. It just never occurred to me to do it for him and I think I blew it. [/QUOTE]
