Kids respond great to being "noticed". We fall apart on the credit system. They lost interest, they argued with me about the points, they fought over who should have what points etc. They didn't care about not being able to cash in points if they did not take a break in their room. We have abandoned the credits - It was concrete, we posted it, we worked on it together, they agreed and understood and then the above happened within days of implementing it.
Their father only has them on weekends and luckily he travels. He is not interested in even discussing any changes in his parenting style. :-(
