[QUOTE="totiredtofight, post: 411773, member: 11199"] my mom tried this method at her house to try to control the chaos of 10 grandchildren (all there for the weekends at the same time ) in age ranges on 15 down to 2. It worked for one weekend and most of the older kids just didn't care if they earned the tokens or not (which could be traded in on Sundays or banked for larger more expensive items ) eventually the younger kids stopped caring for the tokens also. who would have thought that the teenagers wouldn't want to earn tokens for items such as video games,jewelry,ATVs and trips. there was one child who did earn enough tokens in one weekend to earn a new ATV (no idea how he racked up 1000 tokens) would figure it was my difficult child 1 however when it arrived it started it pulled it into the garage where it has been sitting since. tokens were quickly thrown away like all the other star and reward charts that had been tried.( all prizes were purchased in advance for the kiddos instant gratification) which was also a mistake on my moms part since she has 3 other kid size ATVs in storage and lost money on a ticket for the largest prize of a Caribbean cruise (with her and my dad) .. maybe she should have offered the prizes to us parents lol [/QUOTE]
