[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 24149, member: 2005"] I think it is a personal thing with each kid. My older son needed the carrot and the stick effect. My difficult child does well with rewards unless, as with yours, he is very depressed and doesn't care about anything. It is so hard to switch your parenting style depending on your difficult child's mood but that is what I do. In the really hard times, I just keep him close to me because nothing except constant supervision seems to work. My difficult child has anxiety that just gets in the way if I make things too hard and if I had a chart with both rewards and losses he would go nuts. I save losses for really big mess ups and use rewards whenever I can. The only problem I have is I get comments like "what will this get me?" I can live with that. [/QUOTE]
