[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 451887, member: 11755"] We worked to update the schedule last night. He is upset because he wants to watch TV/play wii first but I said he has to get all the other things done first. So I made him tell me how long each task takes and then however much is leftover is how much time he has to watch TV. I wrote "If 1-4 are not complete, I may not play wii or watch TV before school." and made him sign the back LOL Oh, and I let him assign the times, that way in a few days I can say "hmm, seems like X is taking longer than 5 minutes, lets fix that one" This morning was still pretty rough but he kept checking the schedule to see what to do next. He finished @ 7:29. So by the time he turned the TV on and picked a show it was time to go. He was pretty mad but I reminded him that he didn't finish the other tasks in enough time. He still had some serious sassiness/yelling/telling me to shut up but we talked about a behavior/consequence chart and I'm going to print one out today to work on those. I tried to attach a picture of the schedule but I don't know if I did it right. [/QUOTE]
