[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most recommended method is to offer a prize in the morning if he goes to bed without causing trouble, and you should try this. He sounds so emotional that this method may not work on its own so you could combine the reward with the closet punishment since that does actually seem to be working.[/quote] When does that end though? Serious question. Doesn't that just teach kids that the only reason we do things is for reward and material gains? A treat once in a while for a specific job well done is one thing but to reward kids for doing what they're supposed to do anyway? Why a reward for going to bed when you're supposed to? Besides he's old enough to know how to behave.[/quote] Read the Kazdin method so you can understand how positive reinforcement works.[/quote]
