[QUOTE="klmno, post: 345710, member: 3699"] I thought it might help difficult child to have some things better defined, so I started typing up a list of chores to be done on a regular basis, house rules/general expectations/regular privileges, and what I'll have zero tolerance with. I had meant for this to be a starting point for discussion, although some things in it are not negotiable. But then I wonder if it would instigate problems or help him. He always did horribly with behavior contracts and written rules/cosequences because they seemed to always reinforce negativity and "failure" or disappointment , but he did pretty well when they were written as reward chart/expectations- and that applied whether at school or at home. What do you all think? Should I mail it to him, ask him if he'd like for me to send him a written list like he sent me his propsed schedule, or drop it altogether? (It's 2 pages long.) [/QUOTE]
