[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 75197, member: 3444"] Maybe you could try a small reward for him for each day that he gets a good behavior report. It should be immediate -- given right after school -- maybe a small piece of candy, a fancy sticker, whatever you think he might get excited about that's very inexpensive for you to do. For the first few months, you could also have an end-of-the-week reward that's a bit larger for having, say 4 out of 5 days with no behavior issues (or whatever goal you think is achieveable starting out). Maybe it's getting to stay up a half hour later on Friday night, or watching a favorite video, or a trip to the toy store for someing $5 or less. Later in the year, you could up the ante and try adding a longer-term goal with an even bigger reward. Say his goal is 15 out of 20 days with no behavior issues for a special night/dinner out with mom and/or dad. Keep in mind, he would still be getting his daily reward, but would accumulate his tally towards his weekly and/or monthly goal. Our psychologist recommend this for me to use with my kids and it has worked well getting their attention (as long as I'm able to be consistent with implementing it!) They do need to be reminded of their goals -- both the expected behaviors and the rewards they are working towards. But basically, it's easier to get them to try harder with a little honey than with a baseball bat! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
