help me refine this idea | ADHD Information

Summer is coming and even though we've got stuff planned, I know ds is going to have a lot of time to himself.  He's 13 and likes to play computer games and I'm afraid he'll spend the whole summer playing Runescape online.  I have decided to come up with a payment/reward system I call video bucks.  Ds earns these (play money) by doing things like getting showered and dressed in a certain period of time, clearing the table, doing dishes, feeding the dogs, laying out his clothes, setting the table, sweeping, sorting laundry, making his bed, etc.  He'd lose bucks for things like not hanging up his towel after a shower, leaving shoes/socks on the floor, whining, going over his time limit on video games, playing them without permission, etc.  Any money he has left over he can buy either TV time or computer game time.  His language arts teacher gave me the idea.  She gives out play money for good behavior and charges to let kids go to their locker and the bathroom after class starts and stuff like that.  If you collect enough, you can pay her 150 bucks to drop your lowest grade. 

Now here's where I need some help.  I want to flesh out my list of behaviors to reward/punish and I'm all out of ideas.  I want everyone to jump in and suggest stuff.  Can you help?  Thanks. 

what about helping you,playing outside for a set time(To make sure he gets his time outside,if he has siblings be nice to them,going to bed on time for good behavior.

hitting out,shouting,running away(big problem for us),staying up too late for bad behavior?

Outside time is a good idea, thanks!  Ds has no siblings so hitting etc isn't a problem.  The going to bed on time would be good, except we've pretty much given up on that.  You pick your battles and that's not one we're ever going to win!

i agree we are the same we just give him the melatonin,also we won't be giving it to him during the holiday.

how is he with you,maybe you could reward him for being nice to you.at the moment we have a big problem with jude screaming i hate you all the time.

Kids today need to be outdoors and burning off energy instead of couch potato and games.  This is not just a problem with our children with non-ADHD children as well why there is a high rate of childhood obesity not enough excercise.i am lucky jude always want to be outside but i have to kick my 9 year old daughter out or she will stay in all day.i also make her walk from school and she doesn't like it.This is very similar to my marble system.  but my ds is only 8.  You should add exercise to the list as a requirement.  I'm big on exercise.  my ds will go to his room or out side and I don't see him for hours at a time.  I added reading so many minutes each day for this summer.  Great idea susieAlthough he's thin, ds never gets enough excercise.  When I was a kid, I could ride miles and miles on my bike and come home at the end of the day and my mom wouldn't worry.  The streets around my house are too busy for ds to ride his bike and me not worry.  I'll add excercise and reading to the list. Any other suggestions?
