Hey there
I could share our behavioral plans over the years but it probably won't help you any because our plans are based upon my son's unique needs.
Tell us what behaviors you wish to target and I would be more than happy to provide suggestions. But keep in mind that this sort of thing is best done by a behavioral specialist who comes to your home, meets your child, and discusses this all with you.
Thank you for your question!
The behavioral issues that he has is talking back, not listening, and not keeping on track when getting ready to go somewhere. The talking back and the not listening is the major issues. Any suggestions?
We have no one coming to hte house in regards to a behavioral specialist.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi again
I hate to be a pain but are these issues which happen at school too? Or just at home or both school and at home? How are your son's teachers handling these behaviors?
The thing I would do first is to do a little analysis of when these issues are happening. This might take a tiny bit of work but it is well worth it to figure out the patterns of your son's behaviors.
Get a sheet of paper and divide it into thirds long ways. Label the three sections A,B, and C. A is for Antecedents. These are the things which occur before your son's behavior. Describe the setting, what is said to him, what things are going on before your son's behavior. B is for Behavior. I want you to describe in detail...what you mean by talking back. Does he swear? Is he refusing to do what is asked? Does he call you names? What exactly is happening? C is for consequence. What usually happens as the result of his "talking back" or "not listening"? And you really need to define "not listening" as this can mean so many different things. Is he simply having trouble processing what you are saying or is he being passive aggressive in not responding on purpose?
Do this for a week at least and I think you are going to find patterns to the behavior and also to yours? When does the behavior happen the most? is it over a certain task, chore, or request?
As far as "rewards and punishments" there is a ton I could say on this but primarily kids respond best to positive rewards. You have to think about replacing the behaviors you are seeing and rewarding good behavior. Think about what you do want to see from your child as far as behavior.
The organizational stuff..."not keeping on track when getting ready to go somewhere"...do you mean he is late or he can't get his stuff together in time?
I hope this helps...there are no easy answers...this sort of thing takes time and some effort.
I would strongly recommend that you do ask the school for the names and numbers of a behavioral specialist who could help you far better than I can over the Internet.
Good luck and tell me what patterns you do find when you take a look at his behaviors over time.
