I've also heard a piggy bank deal too...like he get's a dime or a nickel for good things...then he can watch the money grow and I will take him to the Dollar Store for a treat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671905275059539416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650982074577849918.post-2657553542722593362012-05-18T17:19:29.945-04:002012-05-18T17:19:29.945-04:00Just like in the classroom I bought a treasure che...Just like in the classroom I bought a treasure chest for the house. He chose the little toys that went in there. Waited for the UPS guy and set it up in his room. Everytime he was doing something great I would send him. A lot at first and then let it dwindle.

The sticker chart worked great for us during that phase with my son. Here's hoping he snaps out of it soon!<br /><br />http://sleeepingsara.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650982074577849918.post-45385704923006591442011-08-26T06:38:21.188-04:002011-08-26T06:38:21.188-04:00I am sure it is just a phase!

Give him choices in everything - "this shirt or this shirt, this meal or this meal etc" and make the punishment - crime appropriate. Not eating dinner means no dessert, not cleaning up the toys means the toys are taken away for X days. Hope that helps and good luck!<br /><br />Paula<br />realhousewifeofsingapore.blogspot.comXOXO, Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288954470826255079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650982074577849918.post-6385768031360969822011-08-24T20:32:55.911-04:002011-08-24T20:32:55.911-04:00Oh I feel your pain with my near 5 year old!
