General
Elliott was not good after school today to begin with. He began by telling me he'd got 3 stamps at school but I was disappointed to read in his book that he'd in fact only achieved 2 - aparently he hadn't listened and had been dangerous inside, jumping around. When I had a chat with him about this he got very upset and demanded a treat. I explained that he'd had his treat from last week's good behaviour and if he wanted another he had to be good at school every day again. He remained upset and said he thought he should get a treat from me as well as from you. I explained this wasn't how it worked, but that if he got 3 stars or more every day for the rest of the week he'd have a treat from me at the end of the week - a new lunch bag and a Stars Wars pod mini-figure. He stayed upset for a while but eventually calmed down and acknoledged that he couldn't have a treat until he'd been good again for a while. Hopefully this will get the message across.
Activities
After he stopped being upset we have a very nice evening, stopping to buy tea on the way home and putting up posters and glow in the dark dinosaurs and stars on the walls of his bedroom. We talked again about aiming to achieve 4 stamps and the importance of being good.
