Attitude Adjustment

Right after the New Year, we started a reward system to help Eli with his four-year old attitude problem :) Once he earned 30 stickers, he would get a Smart Cycle bike. We used a strike system with 2 warnings and then loss of sticker and finally a grounding to his room. Eli took to this system very well, and I am happy to report a 75% improvement in his attitude.

Last night, Eli finished his reward chart and was so excited to ride his "cycle bike." He rode that thing for almost 2 hours straight until I made him take a break and come eat dinner! That boy has energy, I tell you :) Finally at bed time, Eli decided he needed a rest from his bike. What a great investment for expending energy and expanding the mind!
