[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 580966, member: 455"] Janet, I have another idea to add into this cleaning one as you go along. If he has the true difficult child tendencies I wonder if adding in an immediate "reward" of some kind as you are cleaning at some pre determined interval that YOU decide will encourage him to keep going? You know how difficult children get tired of doing something prolonged and then they just quit? What if, say after 2 hours, you offer him something. I'm not sure what to say as you know him the best. If I said a tv break he'd likely just keep on watching it. You probably already have smoke breaks, a candy bar break? I don't know, some sort of "instant gratification" thing that is tiny enough to break it up but yet keep him going and won't "break" you in anyway shape or form. The goal is to KEEP him going. I think this is an excellent idea and on some level it's what I am doing with difficult child here for her to earn "extra" money beyond what she pays in room & board (she actually pays unlike buck). She just needs extra money for things she wants to go, get, have, etc. Right now she has a dire need for even more "extra" money has her furkid has an early case of heart worms and that treatment can be expensive, especially if it had been a later case. But since it's early that's bad enough. It's going to run her upwards of $500+ to begin and "if" the case isn't early like they suspected well then......Her opportunities only gain her $100 extra a month so you can imagine the amount of extra work she's having to do right now! Of course I would never let the furkid do with out treatment (she doesn't know that) but it forces her to have to do work. [/QUOTE]
