“I received your book a few weeks ago and started the Token System with my 6 1/2 year old after reading the book and listening to the tape. It took a few days to sort out in my mind how it was going to work, and I still wasn't convinced. It was too easy. Besides, I offered rewards before for good behavior and never had any lasting changes.
SUBJECT: COMBAT ZONE
Notice the careful way in which the roots are shaken free of dirt. Each weed pulled is counted.
- Prisoner of War -
A parent who gives the child everything they want or need without condition. (2) A parent that is at the mercy of the child’s behavior or attitude. - Combat Zone -
A home that does not use the Happy Face Token System. (2) A Happy Face Token System that needs to re- evaluated to re- establish peace. - Battle plans -
Counter- attack by parent by removing child’s tokens according to how many the child has and what the behavior warrants. - Work -
What children do cheerfully and happily because they are contributing members of the “Most wonderful family in the whole world!”
Well, I wanted to write you to tell you that in the past few weeks, I have had a happy, helpful, obedient (mostly) boy on my hands. If the system stops working for us tomorrow, I will still be pleased with my three weeks worth of "peace"!
I don't know if you expect people to write you to let you know the outcome, but I thought that you should know that the system has helped our family tremendously. By the way, the reward my child is saving for is for two friends to spend the night. It is going to take 75 tokens to earn this and he is really working hard. He has "bought" a few of the smaller rewards along the way, but is really set on the sleep over.“ THANKS FOR THE GREAT IDEA!
