[QUOTE=MeezDiscreet;1544962]I'll call them in the middle of the day at work every day if I have to but I shouldn't be the only one who can't get work done because their child is acting a fool.[QUOTE]
lol! I do need to become more bold with parents. I always try to sugar coat things because they think I'm so young and I don't know what I'm talking about because I am not a parent.
And thanks for the behavior chart idea. I remember a teacher of mine doing that in elementary school- all the groups had a green behavior card, and if a student misbehaved, their group's card was changed to red or something. We already have an incentive where if they get enough clips they get a party, but I might use this one just for the end of the day and make it a game we play every day.
My only worry is that they will always need that in order to listen to me. I can keep doing it, but do you find that the incentives increase their willingness to behave? i.e. Do they become dependent on the incentive, or do they begin to see a general benefit in behaving well?
