[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a bit unmotivated too. For every paper that comes home where he earns a good grade & has followed directions, he earns 15 mins of screen time. Once in a while he gets lazy & makes careless mistakes on his homework. If he does it 100% correct, I pay him a dollar. Ha! Probably not very PC, but it works for my unmotivated son.[/quote] Nah, you're doing fine. The idea is that working diligently becomes a habit, it becomes ingrained and a part of him. If you have to bribe him to get to the ingraining part, so be it. Now if you were taking his stuff away (besides electronics and other distractions) or otherwise punishing him, the "experts" would say you were doing it wrong because you'd be making him angry and resentful, which get in the way of the ingraining stuff.[/quote]
