What a difference!
I just started the voucher system last week while my husband was out of town. What a nice surprise awaited him. The kids were so excited and wanted to keep it a surprise and see if he noticed a difference. He did! The vouchers offer the motivation they needed. They are learning better time management, the advantage of planning ahead, and economics. The first day I started The Voucher System, I actually got the giggles as I sat in the chair nursing my new baby while the other four kids raced around doing work and begging me for more things to do so they could earn points. Things they had completely taken for granted were suddenly important. Instead of nagging or getting upset, I simply give deductions for whatever they have done wrong and my kids accept it gracefully and we move on. It amazes me how quickly it has turned around negative behavior by focusing on positive behavior. This system has taken a lot of the frustration away and given our home a wonderful calm that I never want to give back. The kids are every bit as happy as I am! We are having more fun and free time as a family. I heartily recommend it to any family!I'm grateful to Gail for The Voucher System and the willingness to help me get started, both on the phone and via e-mail. I thank the Lord for my friend who recommended this program to me!

A simple, manageable solution!
My ADHD son and I just started using the voucher system. I was skeptical at first, especially after reading you should give your child 500 vouchers at the start which he can pick out himself. Once you explain the system to him, he is supposed to be excited to begin putting it into practice. I wondered how my oh-so-logical son would react to having to use vouchers to 'buy' things he had gotten fairly easily before (i.e. tv time) and to having points deducted for poor behavior (he was only used to being rewarded for good behavior - a practice which hasn't been too successful!). I was amazed when I explained the system to him and he spent ages reading the Kids Info Sheet and going through the vouchers, deciding which ones to start with. He was really enthusiastic about beginning the system and showing me that he could earn points. He didn't even squeek when I made his first deduction, he simply accepted it. If this system continues as well as it started, I will be one happy mom - with one happy kid!

The Voucher System with Special Needs Children
We have been using the voucher system for well over two years with our three children. We have one child with ADHD, one with autism and one typical child who is quite strong willed. The voucher system has taken the difficulty out of parenting behavior issues! We have a hands on style... we exchange vouchers in hand for everything, and it works perfectly to motivate our children. I highly recommend the voucher system to all parents, not just those wtih special needs children! It is worth every penny it costs, and more!
