[QUOTE="VitruvianDoc, post: 1478482, member: 13736"] Throwing money at the problem doesn't solve much, you need to find what motivates him. Does he enjoy video games? Sit down and talk to him and ask him how his day went and show interest. He will most likely show disgust at this (the rebellious part comming out) but in the long run, it will keep the bond between you two. Once you get that bond and find out what motivates, then start the reward system. If he does his chores, you will allow him so many hours of video games or blank, etc. H probably doesn't have much interest in money at this point. And as far as baseball, he may be good but that doesn't mean he enjoys it or is in it for himself. Try to be involved and play catch with him, etc. Talk to him and make sure hes in it because he wants to be. [/QUOTE]
