I like that message "your behavior has consequences and you can choose to not do what you're doing"

Camp songs are a terrible consequence.

My friend is a former Girl Scout camp counsellor.

I am a former Girl Scout party pooper. I never sang.

There's nothing in there about it being used to annoy @JustGeorge

It isn't. I've resorted to carrying Skittles around and revvarding one for small good behaviors(petting the cat gently, recollecting oneself, remembering to ask befor running off), but he does fill up, and sometimes its not enough motivation.

Our friend vvas over yesterday, and vvhenever he'd start acting out, she'd break into camp songs. He eventually stopped so she'd stop.

Such negative reinforcement is often effective...

In order to earn more school time, Ares has to have 75% safe behavior each vveek. After he has tvvo successful vveeks, he gets more school time. He gets a star per half hour he's in school and acting safely.

At the end of the vveek, he has to have 12/15 stars to be at that 75%. He can earn up to 3 stars a day currently.

He blevv it last vveek.

I hope he keeps up the good behaviour. Is he enjoying school enough that he sees the benefit of earning stars?

He does, and he understands that he has to behave to get them. The next thing he earns is lunch/recess, so that's a big deal.

He isn't alvvays able to control himself, hovvever.

Our school uses stickers and achievement points as rewards. I didn't get any last week.

Always a problem. Though from your posts the last couple of days things seem to be improving
