I don't know - I haven't been very successful with C. I give him an allowance, and have resorted to various monetary "bribes" for behavior. He has had such a hard time being responsible for being on time to class that I've devised a reward/punishment system for that - I pay him $1 per class, per day, that he's on time. However, if he's late even once in a day, he's docked the entire amount. So he has the potential to either get extra money every week, or get no allowance whatsoever. So far that's not been a big success, so we may need some fine tuning! (I know, paying him to do something he's supposed to do anyway sticks in my craw, too, but nothing else seems to be working!)
He also has an account at my credit union, and I've told him that every time he does volunteer hours, I'll deposit $5 in that account. An enforced savings plan, since he doesn't have easy access to that money.
He's starting to be very interested in getting a job, with the idea that he can buy all this expensive skating clothing. He's full of big ideas about how he'll spend the money, but I haven't seen much in the way of actually applying for a job!
