I don't have the answer...but what's been working for us is that Jonah is given one hour of free time right when we get home. He can watch T.V., play with his toys and his brother, eat a snack...anything to unwind from a long day at school.

The agreement is if he cooperates and gets started when I say, "Get started," he continues to get his hour. If not, he loses five minutes of the next day's free time. It decreases as needed...it all depends on his cooperation.
