Vignette: Lucy

Lucy never cleaned her room. This became a “bone of contention” between Lucy and her parents. Lucy’s parents would complain about the room and Lucy would become upset at her parents. The situation was becoming worse. Lucy’s parents decided to implement a behavioral contract. They developed the following contract.

Contract Between Lucy and Mom & Dad

Who: Lucy

What: Will clean her room

When: Every day before leaving for school

How Well: Each day Lucy will earn a check mark for cleaning her room. A clean room means that all toys are picked up, bed is made, and clothes are put in the laundry bin.
