This
is what I have started for my two boys who are having issues with
rules. I am using metal washers for the tokens. They have 12 to start
with. If they loose them oh well less to give me before they sit. In
the past I have used poker chips. I had washers and spray paint, so
they have two different colors of washers.
You
could make your own list and "carrot" (swimming). Use the issues that
are driving you nuts. I think loosing something seems to help them
see. I know one of mine argues about things so bad. He is called on
something and starts arguing. I just hold my hand out. He then decided
to toss the washer at my hand, missing so he lost ANOTHER one. Seems
both washers found my hand after that. This is day two. Yesterday one
of mine swam for 5 minutes. He wasn't impressed with having to get out
:) Choices.
