reinforcement to increase Danny's time spent playing outside?
Take away his computer time when he does not play outside
Allow him extra computer time for every minute he plays outside
Eliminate a task on his chore list for every hour he plays outside
Add tasks to his chore list if he fails to play outside for an hour each day

Answer:

The third option

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you eliminate a chore for him it will make easier for him to play outside but non the less it may increase the screen Time it as a fact will also give him more confidence to play outside in result he will do chores because if the free time he has, in the end you make him believe you are taking a chore off his list but in the long run he will do the chores of his own free will.
