[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my kids doing well in school was its own reward.[/quote] That worked for one of mine, but not the other two. 13 years of pointless grind, only to earn the right to do four more of the same simply did not appeal. I've often heard that school is a kid's job. In line with that philosophy, we paid for good grades on a biweekly basis from fourth grade on. Before that, we had a points system for daily behavior and the results of all graded assignments throughout a week. Points could be redeemed for rewards. Reward options were small, inexpensive or free things that the kids wanted. We also included options for certain amounts of money towards bigger toys they wanted that we had told them to put on the Christmas/birthday list, and "get out of one disliked chore free" cards. Would Pokemon cards, hotwheels cars, or similar little trinkets work as incentives for your kid, OP?[/quote]
