[QUOTE="erbaledge, post: 399858, member: 4334"] I think of it as progress! Congrats! It's awesome when our kids' tell us what they are thinking and share their inner thoughts. A suggestion, since he says "Why are you always pointing out the bad things I do?", but you obviously are giving him his props several times each day, and then you were even able to repeat that days' props (ya I can't do it) - what about writing 3 down a day on a white board/wipey board? (stick it on the refrigerator maybe) Like: Thank you Jim Bob on the 100% clean floor! Jim Bob, great job on using your manners! etc. This would allow him to actually physically see that he got some props each day, and who knows, he may walk by the props board several times throughout the day just to read them and smile to himself. Also, it would help you when he tosses that question at you again. Also, if you have other kids, you would probably want to also write down a prop or two for them also each day - so they don't get jealous. hth [/QUOTE]
