Behavioral techniques

What are some good behavioral techniques that you find work more for you than others?



I am not a mom But i find it amazing on some of the techniques that diffrent people use for behavioral problems. I find some behavioral techniques are flawless if you are consistant. My personal two favorite are the wall hugging and the naughty chair/spot.. It's so funny to see kids react to certain punishments. I know not all kids are the same and diffrent techniques are used for diffrent kids. I have seen some kids act out just because they are bored.. Which is even more amuzing because what do you do with a kid that acts out of pure boreddom? Do you give them something else to do? You should.. It is good to keep kids minds busy and interacting. What are your thoughts on this? What techniques do you utilize? Do they work well?

It depends on what you mean by acting out.  If a kid is "acting out" because they are bored and you give them something fun to do then you are rewarding bad behavior.  I have seen kids throw themselves in the floor, stomp, scream til they are blood red in the face, call parents names, and the list goes on and on because they wanted something at Walmart and the parent had said no.  It amazed me at how many parents either gave in and bought the hellion what they wanted or just kept walking totally ignoring the screaming brat.  Would be fine if you are at home but the employees and other customers do not want to listen to an unruly obviously spoiled brat that doesn't know how to behave.  I am sure my comments will offend people but we all have a right to our own opinion.  Personally, if a kid can't behave then I firmly believe they need to be left at home.  I also am a firm believer in spanking when needed.  Time outs do nothing but give the kid time to think of what to do next.

Lol.. I don't think you reward the kid for acting out of misbehaving... I am talking about kids who misbehave and clown around because they are bored.. For example my brother use to always act up in school because he was bored.. He would do all his work and just get infraction after infraction after infraction for misbehaving.. All because he was bored.. No he did not get rewarded.. But when he was given extra work at school he didn't misbehave anymore.. and in turn was rewarded for his good behavior =]. Spanking is a good technique for misbehavior.. and i don't think enough people spank their kids when they misbehave or act foolish when they know better. On another note.. i don't think people can judge others for their thoughts and opinions.. on subjects because people have a right to freedom of speech.. FREEEDOMS! X3

lol.  Where have you been?  People judge others for their thoughts and opinions all the time. 

And I think what you were meaning and what I understood it to mean were two different things.  I think my nephew does that too sometimes at school.  Some kids are slower and some faster at how quick they finish their work.  I was one of the slower ones to get it done.

Time outs help alot if used consitently for bad behavior.  If they act  out when they are bored keep them busy before they get to that point.

Did you know that a disobedient child with behavioral issues is considered a disability in my sons school? It might even be within the state as well. My son was classified with ADHD and ODD (oppositional defiance disorder) at age 6. When he was age 3 (when he was in pre-k) he was classified with a behavioral disorder disability and placed in special education classes. He got counselling and redirection from every school personnel and myself. I just thought he was a spoiled brat and wanted attention. I am the disciplined parent and my husband is the WOMAN! Totally not on the same page at me! He babys him and gives him what he wants. He has terrible impulses as you would see a person with tourettes. No tics and jerks but verbal actions and physical actions. More like screaming out loud for no reason, or pulling his pants down or throwing things for NO apparent reason. I thought he would do everything on purpose and do it for attention but his school psychologist said he does not know he is doing those things at the moment and after he has done it realizes what he done and cries because he cannot help himself control it. I did not want to believe that but after 2 yrs I finally came to terms that he could not control himself and I tried avoiding medication but I felt I had no choice or he would be in special education and he is truly a smart kid. I just started him on the meds a month ago and let me tell you the difference it makes! His teachers and principal or so happy the meds are working for him. I am not getting a call every day to talk to the principal. So far so good except for appetite loss, which was expected as a side effect. Anyway, I wrote too much. So as far as a "technique" we use a reward system at home and at school specifically designed for him. Time outs some times, but not often because he may be getting too old for that. He is 7 now and is s very smart and loving boy.

I like the techniques you use.  And yes, all children are different.  You may need to be creative.
