[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 59075, member: 3647"] Thanks again everyone. I altered the chart a bit, tried to make it a little easier to start with. I know "clean your room" is overwhelming, so I broke it down. There are 3 aspects that I want her to keep up with: Dirty clothes in the hamper, clean clothes put away, and throw away garbage (or I will find granola bar wrappers all over the place). Those are the 3 things that we will work on, and that she will be rewarded/consequenced for. As far as her smart little mouth, I broke that down to telling me "no", yelling, and getting sassy. I'm sure that her mouth will take longer for us to work on, but that is OK. In any event, I went over the chart with her, and she threw a fit, then ran and made a chart for me. Mine is no yelling and no swearing. She sat around dishing out pennies to me last evening when I did not swear. I had to try not to laugh. Anyways, another thing that I am noticing is that I don't particularly like how she is acting on her Focalin. It's like, when she is behaving, she is really REALLY behaving, and it is wonderful. But the switch can flip so quickly, and then watch out. Ay caramba, I am just rambling now. But I am enjoying a couple hours of peace while she is at summer school. Thanks again for everyone's suggestions. [/QUOTE]
