[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me think of a small weekly incentive for my 5th grader for keeping up his weekly grades. DS has mild ADD and needs to learn how to stay focused during classwork assignments. The expectations are higher and the teachers are less hands-on this year and he's got to learn how to do it for himself. He can stay focused if  he tries and we are working on various strategies to help him with executive functions, but he needs a carrot that can help motivate him day to day. We pay him $10 for As and $5 for Bs for his 9-week report card, so money doesn't seem like a good weekly incentive (I don't care if you don't agree with paying kids for grades, so no need to comment). I don't want to offer candy or other food rewards and he gets enough screen time on the weekends that more isn't an incentive for him. Any ideas on what might motivate a 10 y/o boy?  [/quote]

How about the incentive of a better future by getting a great job after graduating from the top college you were able to attend thanks to the scholarship you received because of your good grades. Works for us.[/quote]

For a young elementary schooler? Your kids have more forethought than mine[/quote]

Might as well give them a vision.[/quote]
