[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 356765, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]When wm was this unmotivated & depressed I dropped any reward/consequence issues & dealt with his level of sadness & his inability to motivate himself. To me this was the most important thing as wm, at the tender age of 9, was threatening suicide. in my humble opinion, please address your difficult children depression. medications may need tweaking, therapy, etc. The reward system may just be too much for him. With the tweedles it became a joke behind my back as well as the schools. And when they were rewarded for every little thing there was little motivation to move forward. This became a very fine tuned balancing act. As part of the family kt & wm are expected to do such & such; school work as well. Each have an allowance each week ~ based on add'l out of the ordinary chores assigned. Mowing the lawn, weeding, help with grocery shopping, etc. Just a few thoughts for you this morning.
