Today we discuss what to do when you encounter different common parenting and teaching scenarios. We give our advice on how as behaviorist and moms we would handle these types of situations. We discuss identifying the functions of behavior, teaching replacement behaviors, and doing your best to be calm and consistent with your implementation.

We specifically address what to do when…

-your toddler is hitting you

-transitioning away from an item or location is hard

-a child is having a tantrum in the classroom

-a student isn’t motivated to do work

-your child won’t sit down for meals

-your child is having negative interactions with a sibling
