[QUOTE="jannie, post: 127026, member: 2074"] Is the only expectation during the week to keep the bathroom and kitches clean? If so, it sounds reasonable....Where does the attitude and rudeness fit into the daily/weekly contract? I feel strongly that when kids are on contracts they should initially be easily able to earn the reward...so that they can feel the benefits of rewards and then work harder to achieve. Five weeks is a long time to go without a weekly reward....mainly because this is a new system. Is it possible to change to weekly reward to a long term reward of once you earn 8, 10, or 12 days without a violation you get the $10.00 shopping...7 days without any violations is quite a long time for a difficult child....this way she can get her reward after just having 10 days without viiolations...so she doesn't need to begin each week again...she can add to her existing good days. Mind you....my difficult child 2 set up his own contract to earn 1000 points and then he will get his own bird....According to this contract it will take at least five months of excellent behavior to earn 1000 points--clearly impossible...(but I really dont' want a bird anyway), but the point is that he can't stay motivated this long...and therefore this contract system is useless.
