My difficult child's behavior never responded well to simple limit setting or time outs. Doing a behavior chart for stickers worked for a while but without constant change it only worked for about one week at a time. We've gotten a bigger bang out of his token economy than I ever thought we'd get. He gets tokens for almost everything he does right now and then he turns them in for rewards like 30 minutes of educational computer games, 30 minutes of TV, buy back a confiscated toy, etc. He can turn them in for $0.25 a token which helps when he wants to buy a specific toy. He chose some larger ticket rewards (like the Water Park and he loves Chuck E Cheese are like 200 tokens each just to get him in the door). Helps keep me from being bankrupt. For homework that he hates he gets tokens for each one problem and then since initiating is tough for him, he gets an additional one if the problem is completed within 1 minute.

[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 51689, member: 3820"] My difficult child's behavior never responded well to simple limit setting or time outs. Doing a behavior chart for stickers worked for a while but without constant change it only worked for about one week at a time. We've gotten a bigger bang out of his token economy than I ever thought we'd get. He gets tokens for almost everything he does right now and then he turns them in for rewards like 30 minutes of educational computer games, 30 minutes of TV, buy back a confiscated toy, etc. He can turn them in for $0.25 a token which helps when he wants to buy a specific toy. He chose some larger ticket rewards (like the Water Park and he loves Chuck E Cheese are like 200 tokens each just to get him in the door). Helps keep me from being bankrupt. For homework that he hates he gets tokens for each one problem and then since initiating is tough for him, he gets an additional one if the problem is completed within 1 minute. [/QUOTE]
