[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 353503, member: 3444"] Maybe he needs to just forgo the computer for a while and allow him to earn it back for X number of days with compliance (you'll have to decide what that is -- no food left in room, soiled clothing appropriately managed and what a reasonable amount of time is for him to sustain these behaviors). You could start small and say he gets 30 minutes of computer time the day after he goes a full day without leaving food in his room and keeping his clothes picked up. If he can go three days in a row with compliance, then he gets a full hour of computer time on day four. Some of our kids need very structured and tangible goal/reward systems. It's a lot of work on your part to manage it, but it might be more effective in the long run. My difficult child 1 has the food-in-his-room issues, too. [/QUOTE]
