[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 7700, member: 1835"] Karen, I believe that can kick kids out, but, from what I understand, it's usually for something more serious such as fighting or running away. We had hoped, when our son realized he could relax about us visiting him, he would then move on to try to get his status back because, even if he doesn't want to come home again yet, he can still earn day passes away from the house. That would mean we could take him out for the day--to our hotel, shopping, out to lunch/dinner, a movie, etc. as opposed to us sitting in the house living room for two hours. Also, as they advance status, they earn a later bedtime, access to their CD players, and video game systems on demand, etc. So, they do have a reward/consequence system in place that goes beyond parental visits.
