Rewards could be reading to younger kids or classmates, extra sharing and attention time, or anything else I found out motivated Winnie during our meeting time. I would also shorten the time he has to go between rewards. If is problem is being impulsive, I think it is important to start with smaller periods and then work up to longer ones after he gets into the habit of controlling his
