[QUOTE="Andy, post: 242418, member: 5096"] I hope that works. I did something on that line with my difficult child last Winter/Spring. He was 11 years old at the time. We also cut down the length of time needed to earn the chip(s) and awarded them on a constant basis. difficult child needed to know the moment he earned the chips, not wait until the end of the day before adding the earnings together. I also purchased three poster boards for my difficult child to create his lists. One board for how to earn chips, one board listing what would happen to loose chips, and one board on how to spend chips. We focused on the earning and spending. The loosing was for major issues being worked on like putting his hand on the car handle before it stopped and using bad words. For the most part, this was a positive reinforcement for good behavior - he very seldom lost chips because there were not very many ways that he could. I think having difficult child make his own poster gave him ownership of the project. This also worked so much longer than I expected for my difficult child and did have the desired effects of getting rid of some unacceptable behaviors. [/QUOTE]
