K.K.
During the summer I was using a reward system for behavior and chores. Each time he accomplish a set goal. He was able to put a star on that chore. I let him pick the reward at each time we started over. Such as, stay up later one night, rent a movie, go to a movie, have a friend come over, buying dots ice cream( wal-mart sells them individually),and game night- he picks the game. To motivate him in starting I picked something he really wanted to do and that was bowling. Since that is pricy prize he had to earn 80 stars. Some of the chores were make his bed, pick-up his clothes, get dress, comb hair, brush teeth,put his dirty dishes in the sink, clear dirty dish into garbage and for behaviors using table manners, good manners,using kind words, saying good morning to everyone, going to bed the first time being told, not fighting to get his medicine, listening and I had a few more. The most important thing was getting him to do those things without me asking. It took awhile but it did work. I haven't started over since school but I think I will revise the chart and start over. I know he likes to do special things with you. I think that would be a great reward is a special day with mommy and him only. If he starts off slow you could design a treasure box with things you already have at the house to reward for small stuff until he really catches on. Good luck.
