[QUOTE="slsh, post: 120210, member: 8"] Hi Carrie and welcome! Sometime we must chat about what aug. com. system your son is using and how you like it - and I feel like we've been reinventing the doggone aug com wheel for the past 15 years for my oldest and still don't have anything really functional. Anyhooo... I think Sharon makes a good point about getting to the "why's" first. If it's flat out defiance then your plan sounds intricate but reasonable, though I wonder if you might have a bit more success if you could offer her a carrot during the week as well - maybe a half hour of TV or whatever, and then put a picture of the carrot on her book bag so she has a visual cue before she walks out of the building without her homework? Younger kids have to have pretty instant gratification (I'm recalling sticker charts out the ears in K and first grade, with the possibility of 6 or 8 stickers during the course of a day and a prize at the end of the day for X# of stickers). At 10, she should be able to keep her eye on the prize for a longer period of time but also, throwing in ADHD, maybe not a full week? Baby steps first and as you get positive results, *then* you stretch the time frame out. Also, *any* plan you put into place is going to take more than 3 days to have an impact. Just my thoughts - so glad you found us! [/QUOTE]
