Curbing Child Behaviors MS Ed/Cas Lindsay K Krebs

Children quite often display behaviors that are less than desirable. They might scream, have full-blown temper tantrums, have little to no manners, have great difficulty listening, refuse to take no for an answer, and the list goes on and on. Let's be honest, these behaviors sometimes make us want to pull our hair out and we want them to stop!

Although this is not something that can happen with the flip of a switch overnight, there are things that you can do at home to help curb these undesirable behaviors in your child/children. Such methods are often referred to as, "Behavior modification." One very popular form of behavior modification is the use of behavior charts. These allow you to indicate what behaviors you would like to work on with your child and to recognize them for improvements they make with these behaviors on a daily/weekly basis. This book provides a sample behavior chart for you to use as a reference when creating these for your child, good tips to consider when creating your behavior charts, 50 blank behavior charts for you to use on a weekly basis to make this simple, as well 50 blank note sheets to help you document any progress your child has made on each behavior every week. Behavior charts can work with children, but it does take time and dedication.

By utilizing the tips, samples, charts, and notes that I have put into place within this book, the chances of these behavior charts working for your child greatly increase. I wish you the best of luck in curbing your child's behavior! When in doubt, please refer back to this book for reference.
