[QUOTE="forkeeps251, post: 474089, member: 12854"] Not at all... I can't remember all the details, but it was pretty much to "catch him" in the act of doing something correct (sharing a toy, playing without any fights, etc), and he earns a sticker for that. As my husband put it, "treating the good behavior just like the bad behavior", meaning recognizing it right away and giving him a consequence (if he is good, a reward) right away. He was also to have a place to go to remove himself from the crowd**... this is something that he has actually been doing on his own since the beginning of school (hiding under a desk, behind a chair, etc). This is supposed to be an 8 week plan and then we see how it is going. The first week, it went great, he actually got stickers every day and had a perfect week. I got a package of those "squinky" (sp?) toys and let him pick a few of those each day he was good. The typical sticker chart deal. Since then, things have been back to normal. He still earns a few stickers every day, but is still getting sent the the principals office... **I need to call the school counselor... yesterday when he was sent to the office she told him that hiding under a table was not appropriate when he was mad, and that he needed to count to ten. I didn't find out about this till yesterday afternoon, but it seems contradictory to the BIP that says he is to have a "safe place" to go when things get overwhelming where he can calm down. Also Buddy, thanks for your other post... your list of stuff was very helpful... I KNEW it was going to be bad, but if anyone had asked me why I knew, I couldn't tell them... but you summed it up pretty well! [/QUOTE]
