[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 338423, member: 1991"] I see what you are trying to do, but I suggest you relax it just a little, so you can not be accused of deliberately setting her up for failure. I suggest you introduce a third level (or more correctly, a preliminary level where she can accrue some credits of a kind, for each achievement. I agree, this is a Kindy level of behaviour chart and if she can comply with THAT 100% or even close, I will be amazed. And a girl her age should be able to comply with a Kindy chart at least 90% of the time, and have sound reasons for the remaining 10%. Otherwise, I tihnk what you have set up is very good. The points expiring after a month - that could be a bit difficult for you to administer. If you're re-setting the chart at the end of every calendar month, what about points earned on the 29th of the month? Or are you cancelling out all credits 30 days older or more? I think you could have difficulties if you use the calendar month option, she will cry, "unfair!" and I must admit, I would have too. Again - you need to be seen here as fully supportive and realistic in your expectations. Don't set it at a difficulty level for a normal 15 y o, set it at a much easier level but still one where she cannot comply at the top level at her current performance. I'm sure it will show what you want the doctor to see, even more effectively. It should save you time. You don't want the psychiatrist sending you home to try it again, only a bit easier this time. You need to be able to go back to the doctor after a month and say, "Here is what I set up. Here is what I would expect a normal kid to manage. Here is where she came. NOW will you believe us?" Have fun with it. [do we have a tongue in cheek logo?] Marg [/QUOTE]
