Rylan is still going to speech twice a week at Crockett Elementary. He currently goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:30 pm. He goes to school each day from 9 am until 2 pm. Rylan seems to work really hard at school and it's been tough for him to have a positive attitude about going to speech afterwards. (Plus he's always overtired since he gets up usually around 5 am.)
Rylan's response to having to go to speech had been getting progressively worse before Christmas. When I would pick him up, Rylan started crying and yelling that he doesn't want to go to speech. It was very dramatic. Half the time he'd fall asleep during all his tears and then I would have to literally drag him into the school (while also holding Grayson). It was pretty awful.
So I decided to go back to what we've used before for sleeping until his clock turned green - a reward chart with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese's when he gets enough stickers.
After 5 good attitudes before speech, Rylan gets to go to Chuck E. Cheese's. So far every speech day has been great since we started the chart!!! Today Rylan earned his 5th sticker so we headed off to Chuck E. Cheese's after picking Carter up from school. Sometimes Rylan can be the sweetest kid ... instead of going by himself he wanted to take Carter and split his tokens :)
Grayson loved Chuck E. Cheese's as well. Oh my!
