Ten Things You Should Know

2. Behavior is related to the context within which it occurs.

Different context=Different behavior

home”• “…but, we are having this one tiny issue.”• “don’t want it to cause your child any

problems.”• “Here’s how you can help”

Ten Things You Should Know3. For every year that a behavior has been in place, you should plan to spend at least one month of consistent and appropriate intervention for you to see a change in the behavior.- This is a rule of thumb.

Stick with it

Ten Things You Should Know10. Your reaction determines whether a behavior will happen again or not. To change child behavior- we have to change our behavior.

You cannot teach children to behave better by making them feel worse. When children feel better, they behave better.

(Pam Leo)

Bonus Rule• If you want a student to change their behavior,

you have to make it more fun to do the right behavior than it is to do the incorrect behavior.
