Dennis did not want to go to school this morning. He told me "I don't want to take school anymore. It's so long, and I get in trouble all the time." Poor fellow. I explained that everyone has a difficult time learning new rules and that he'd be okay as long as he didn't continue to do the things that he learned were wrong. We prayed together in the car for a better day. I reminded him that he'd get ice cream after school if his conduct stayed on "green" all week. He pitifully asked "can I have a toy instead?". I stopped by Walmart after dropping him off. He caught me in a weak moment. He was happy when I picked him up this afternoon, still on "green" in his planner (but he told me he was on yellow for a while today before moving back to green). And he was very pleased to get his prize when he got in the car!
