Help with my DS!

[rach3975]

I know how frustrating it is! My kindergarten DS was getting into trouble at school, too, and for months nothing we tried worked. Finally he just seemed to get over it and has been doing well for the last month or so, but with his issues I know we're not really done with the problems, just taking a break from them.

The one suggestion I have is maybe to make it easier for now so that he can have success. If he feels like he's trying hard but he still can't earn the reward, he may start to give up. Maybe it's worth upping his number of pom poms for a while, then when he starts to "get it" you can remove 1 every few weeks until he has whatever number you think is reasonable. Of course, that only works if he really is trying and just can't get to the goal. It's harder if the system just isn't motivating to him at all, which is one of the problems we had with my DS for a while.
