Happy Dad-day.  Moms, especially dads, foster parents, and mentors, here's your tip of the week.

Give him $10. Immediate, unexpected rewards are great reinforcement when he does something positive.

Forget all the admonishments we were brought up with about free money.  Or let him choose the ice cream to buy in the grocery store, or the hot wheels car.  Give him an extra hour online as a reward, or more time for his favorite activity.
