[QUOTE="totoro, post: 304766, member: 3155"] My daughter has never responded well to reward charts stickers etc. It is too hard for her to see the future benefits of it and be able to see the- if I hold it together for this long then I get this... Also for kids who have issues like ours, especially if they are unstable or young or just unable to understand concepts like this fully, they will not do well at all. We don't really believe in punishment at this point in time. But we believe in positive reinforcement and taking time to think about things. She must understand why she did things and be able to communicate this. Instead of charts etc, we will have a calendar that we keep track of something just to let her know how she is doing. Then, for example if she had a good day we let her know how proud we are of her for trying so hard and that we realize how hard it is for her. So we may get her a book she wants or a treat etc. We also will show her on the chart randomly how well she has been doing and then tell her we can go to the store and she can pick something out. We do this for her Kumon studies. For us random works much better. We also just dole out the positive comments all of the time even if she isn't having a great day, even if it is for a tiny thing. Out kids really need this, they tend to have low self esteem. I am surprised they would suspend a 5yo? The School should be able to handle a kid like this. [/QUOTE]
