[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 245821, member: 6546"] We tried to tie allowance to chores--but that didn't work because she always chose NOT doing the chore over the $$$. Priviledges like watching TV, using the phone, playing computer games--she doesn't want them badly enough to EARN them. If we take them away--she gets mad and just goes and does something else. The only thing which seems to get through to her is removing her mp3 player--and because that is the only thing she seems to take seriously...we save that consequence for big issues and don't remove it for daily non-compliance stuff. difficult child can go for long periods of time not watching television or playing video games...and if hiding in her bedroom keeps her from having to pitch in--that's just fine with her. I vascillate between wanting to really motivate her to do chores and have some privileges and responsibilities (and participate in "normal teenage activities")---and forget it, let her stay in her room if it means we don't have to have yet another violent outburst over picking up laundry or whatever trivial thing is the problem. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
