[QUOTE="idohope, post: 306664, member: 7722"] Hi, I am currently doing reward chart with 3 kids. It is time consuming and complicated. For difficult child I think it helps a bit. I have no illusion that points will make a difference to her if she about to or has launched, but I think it is helpful for laying out expectations clearly, without nagging, and does provide a motivation during good times. Some specifics suggested by our therapist: 1) We started out with only earning points. Did that for a month or so and then added items for which points could be taken away. This provided a time for them to get rewards and buy into the system without discouragement 2) we have a "good attitude" category. I can give the good attitude points at any time for any behavior that I like. Was extra helpful, nice to sibling, compromised on a choice...Good Attitude! My youngest loves to get good attitude and likes to award them to others. "difficult child did X for me..is that good attitude for her?" 3) definitely keep it relatively simple. We initially focused on the one part of the day that was hardest and broke it down into steps and allocated points for each part. It was not easy at first. The chart did trigger multiple tantrums from difficult child and I wondered if it was more harm than good but it is an accepted part of the family routine now. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
