[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 411570, member: 6546"] Hey there-- I also feel like the "token economy" is nothing more than a glorified sticker chart....but then, perhaps I've not instituted it correctly...or that kind of stuff just doesn't work for my difficult child... At any rate, as you already pointed out, some things are bigger issues than others. Last time I out together a chart - I first organized issues by category. IOW - brushing hair, brushing teeth, takings showers....these are all in the "Hygiene" category. Doing homework, bringing home good grades, good reports from teachers...these are all in the "School" category You get the idea... Then there were things in the "No Tolerance" category - these were BIG issues, like hitting, stealing, etc... Once you have divided up your "Categories" there are lots of opportunities for your child to earn tokens. Maybe the Hygience Category is worth 10 tokens for completing all tasks....if they do some tasks, they can earn partial credit. Maybe the No Tolerance category is an "All or Nothing" category. 50 tokens for behaving - 0 for not. You decide whether to award points daily, weekly, mornings/evenings whatever... See how it goes... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
