[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 378510, member: 1514"] Terry, how old is difficult child now? Does he get an allowance? I think if I had it to do all over again knowing now what I know now about MY difficult child, I would have worked out some sort of incentive program. As Dr. Phil says, find their currency. Cory's was money. I honestly believe if I would have paid him even a nominal amount of money for appropriate compliance as an immediate reward, he would have performed better. I tried the long term thing of 10 bucks for an A, 5 bucks for a B but that was too long term. I think if I had done something more immediate. Say...a dollar a day for no trouble in school and doing work. It would have been well worth my money! Some may say a bribe, I say more like a paycheck! [/QUOTE]
