[QUOTE="Shari, post: 24751, member: 1848"] That's a great update. Thanks for sharing. Currently, difficult child 2's "team" is stuck in a contradiction. difficult child is smart. Very smart, actually. And his teacher at school fears he will learn to use rewards to manipulate. Mr IHBT is very much into rewarding good behavior, as we have d@mn little success controlling the rages if we try to punish instead, and the behavior we want to correct gets lost in the inevitable power struggle. I used a "merit" system to get him to ride the bus. It started with a sticker every day he got on without a tyrade. At then end of the 4 day week, we went to the dollar store and he earned a dollar for each sticker. After a few weeks, he got $2 for the week's stickers, then one dollar and a trip on Thursday, etc. Eventually, the reward went away, but he still gets on the bus (usually - lol). I know the tweedles' situation is very different, but have you seen anything of this nature "lend" itself to wm being more manipulative? [/QUOTE]
