As I mentioned in an earlier post, we introduced reward charts to the boys. Brady's was for potty-training and Connor's was for getting dressed. While I have no update yet on the potty-training efforts, I can say that Connor finally achieved his goal.
He wasn't very diligent about earning his star in the beginning...lots of excuses about saving it for Saturday and Sunday, Daddy doesn't give him a chance, etc. In the last week, he changed his tune and whipped through the remaining stars. He earned his reward (and hopefully gained a new habit)...he gets to go to Chuck E Cheese with friends. He went to school on Monday and asked Jesse if he would like to go. He then turned to Jesse's mom (which I work with) and told her that "she would be getting a call".
The hard part was deciding when, because our weekend schedules were pretty full. We didn't want to put it off so long that it lost its effectiveness with Connor and lost the ability to motivate Brady (to work on his reward). Thursday night it is...Connor gets to go to Chuck E Cheese with two friends (the 2nd one invited is a surprise for him) and then he gets to go home and RUB it in to Brady.
