[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 420605, member: 393"] I hate behavior charts ~ it's insulting to the parent. Our little wonders decide what they will/will not comply with for what reward they may or may not want. wm was infamous for negotiating for his reward early; the turd promised he would be "good" if he could get the reward early. Suffice it to say, that didn't happen. School store is another issue altogether. kt & wm came home with their points purchase & it ended up on the floor. It was "****". I suggested to staff at school that they put books, sketch books, cool pencils but not goofy toys. wm's weekly purchase became the "icon of the day" & he lost interest until someone else picked it up ~ rages always ensued. kt would throw hers in the trash. I know that the psychiatric & school community are trying to find a way to measure & justify treatment options & the like. The kids know & manipulate the system. We're not dealing with a bunch of "yahoos". Add to the above, is the fact that if a difficult child is at the point where he/she doesn't care; doesn't or isn't able (for whatever reason) to achieve the goal it's suggested that we lower the outcome. How is that pushing our difficult children to move forward. I remember one goal for wm - you will pee in the toilet (not on the wall) 5 out of 7 days a week. That's not a goal ~ that's an expectation! It's an insulting option for children over the age of 5. [/QUOTE]
