[QUOTE="sunxstone, post: 351321, member: 8297"] Andy - Getting him off the easy child is sometimes easy, and sometimes he tantrums. I never really know how it's going to be. He does not like updates on his time (You have twenty minutes to go), but I know he'll be more upset if I just 'pull the plug' on him at 7, because then I'm 'rushing him off'. But I've instituted that if he gets off *after* his finish time of 7 PM, say, 7:15, I will double that, meaning he does not start the next day at 5:00, he starts at 5:30. It's working, but there's still back talk and bad mood. He's got good days and off days.. If he's having a really off day and just raging constantly I'll take his time away completely and he can try again the next day. Week days he gets on at 5 PM - 7 PM. We tried mornings before school and he would rush the shower, not wash his hair, not eat breakfast and then run late for the bus, so.. no more mornings. Weekends he gets his time out of the way early. I'm more lax on the weekends, if he wants to get himself up at 5 am and stay on til 8 or 9 when I get up, as long as he's playing quietly, it's fine. This will change with the credit system in place, and he is *not* gonna like it! I *do* like the one hour increments, and I'm thinking 500 credits, or 1000 credits per hour is good. I need to sit and add his points up and see what he's capable of earning on a single day. The list isn't finished yet, I'm still adding to it so it's iffy still. [/QUOTE]
