[QUOTE="wldinnh, post: 51114, member: 3763"] I'm not a fan of the "earn it back" system. My difficult child started to think that she could pretty much make up for bad behavior with a little good behavior and still get to do the fun thing that had been taken away. So now, once I say it's gone, it's gone. No matter how much it hurts me to have to stick with it. I WANT her to get to go places and do special things, but once the words are out of my mouth I know I have to follow through. Knowing that, I'm much more careful about what comes out of my mouth! (Like I wanted to go to the Cheetah Girls concert as much as her, so I never made losing the tickets a consequence - I needed the kid with me to make my appearance there look legit! LOL!) [/QUOTE]
