Campout in the backyard

Connor's first month of school was rough. He just wanted to do his own thing. The teacher has a color system to let you know how the kids behaved each day. Connor was not coming home with good colors. After much frustration and thought we tried to come up with a reward system that would be motivational enough for Connor. This was the first reward: sleeping in the backyard in the tent. He loves camping. We told him that if he came home with a good color everyday that we'd have a camp out. It worked. Hooray! Of course our problems aren't over but we've seen improvement and that's a start.
