Marcus is doing great at school but today and yesterday ugh ugh ugh at home- down right disobedient- over simple things like put your laundry in the hamper- get your chores done- so today I gave him a consequence of not practicing soccer for the first 10-15 minutes he had to watch- oh and he did not like it at all- but what does he do when he gets home - defiant UGH UGH
Calgon take me away- I know he is moving in to typical child behavior which is good but he better get over this phase real quick
Hang in there! Mine are the same way when it comes to chores. I know he earns stars what about points for those stars? We let the kids earn points and each point is worth 5 to 10 cents each. It depends on what the chore was. By the end of the week they earn no more than $2 each, a rental video or a special treat for the week. It works for motivation. It might help Marcus feel like he is earning something special. Not sure what you do for home rewards....just what I do.
ReplyDeleteStars just weren't working. We all like to be rewarded for our hard work and even good behavior.
love ya
