[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've asked him for ideas, but his first one was Jolly Ranchers  :roll: He's kind of on the cusp of big kid rewards and little kid rewards. He's not into Pokemon or Legos that much anymore so inexpensive toys aren't that easy to identify. I'll keep picking his brain. [/quote]

I have the bike riding kid. He's almost 9 so he's not much younger. He also does well with checklists and likes to cross items off one at a time. Short and simple to help him remember what he needs to do. For the morning for example - Wash and refill water bottle, pack homework, pack snacks etc.. Maybe you could try something like that and incorporate homework. It's not a reward system but more of an organization system on what needs to get done. You could always add something fun at the end or an occasional Jolly Rancher as the last step.

I understand PPs about working up to something big but for my son it was always too long and not as meaningful for day to day. Personally I'm not into rewards but do whatever works for your child. I would have bribed DC2 with anything during the potty training years if it sped it up. [/quote]
