Well, we are on week 4 of check marks in school. For those of you with little ones, when kids misbehave, they get a check mark...Anthony's goal has been to get through ONE week of school without a checkmark. He had 2 this week, 5 last week, 3 the week before that and 2 the week before that. Yes - you read right - FIVE check marks! Mainly they are for controls talking (he comes by that flaw honestly so I can't get too mad at him) and "self control"...which is basically sitting still in his seat and doing what he is supposed to do.

Radii and I are pretty fed up, we've grounded him, that didn't work...he has activities every day after school so the amount of time that he was actually "grounded" was small. We've yelled, screamed, talked rationally, tried bribery, blackmail, etc...nothing is working. So it's time for creative punishment. Not quite sure exactly what it will be yet, but if anyone has ideas, please let me know!
