Rewards v Bribery





So, we have been working on molding and fostering Nate's good behavior at school. He has had a record run of REDS (that means no warnings and a 'great day' in the kindergarten world). We've been providing some motivation for this good behavior. Nate decided this week he would like to sleep downstairs if he had an all red week. Some may call this a small form of bribery, but letting him set his goals seems to be working. Although sometimes he does need some redirecting and consideration of scale when trying to negotiate his reward. The Wii and trips to various places seem to keep coming up. We were happy to settle on the FREE plan to sleep downstairs and stay up late on the weekend!
