[QUOTE="klmno, post: 178663, member: 3699"] That is a tough one. I use the getting everything done- brushing teeth, shower, ready for tomorrow, etc., ON TIME, then he can have more free time. He gets a little free time when we first come home and can snack a little (we have long days and our dinners are around 7:30). If he does what he should on time, he'll have his own free time for games or tv for a little while before "lights off" time. If he bucks that once, it will be tougher the next day. If he can't get that message, it gets locked up in the car for a certain period of time. If that doesn't work- it gets locked up in the car until I think he's earned it back and has shown the responsibility to get it again. This isn't full-proof- but it has seemed to work fairly well, so far. Then again, my difficult child doesn't have a hand held game at this point. His is too big to sneak or hide. [/QUOTE]
