[quote=Anonymous]What about incentivizing? E.g., I know you can do this. What I'm not sure you're doing is being careful. Being careful and checking your work is just as important as being "smart." You might tell him something like, "FINISHING the work isn't good enough anymore. You need to check it and make sure you didn't miss something. This is basic stuff for any job you have, by the way, whether it's bagging groceries, taking an order at MacDonalds, or being president of the United States. So. Here's the deal. You earn X minutes of TV and computer time for getting your homework FINIASHED, and one additional minute (or whatever) for each problem you actually get CORRECT or complete according to the instructions. That's how it's going to work, buddy!"[/quote]
