[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 457385, member: 12721"] Well, I think we're trying. :) Mom told me today that when the kids were asked what one thing was that they'd change, my niece said that she'd want tv in her room. So, my mom is going to have that set up. It's DirecTV so it takes setup, installation, etc. If that is something that will truly make Niece happy, it's harmless. It may even make her want to stay home more, and get her off the computer. I know, it's TV- rot the brain.. but it is what it is :) Now, they do not have many instruments. My niece has a flute that she plays in school band. Otherwise, they have video game consoles- which make them happy. I think Mom should focus on more board games or the like, to get them away from the electronics a little more. They bake, play with the dog (a great dane, which my niece loves to death. He's her "baby boy" :) ) She also wants a full membership to Toon Town, a game she likes. She currently uses a trial version. It is not cheap- around $100 for a year I believe. So my Mom is going to sit down with her and they will, together, devise a plan for her to earn the membership. Now, is this considered "with strings attached"? And I also just want to be sure I understand- when you say logical consequences, are the ones I've mentioned such as restricting computer access and turning off the cell phone data plan what you would call logical consequences for her negative behavior? :) Thank you!
