[quote=Anonymous]We did with our four year old. I picked the most frequent event (daily tantrum when picking up older sibling at school) and made a chart just for that. Chart has Day, “Practice”, “Test” and “Total”. We practiced “waiting quietly for sibling” twice a day. He got it in a week! I actually use the Kazdin charts all the time now, without rewards though (the stickers are rewarding in themselves for my four year old).

The biggest thing about Kazdin is practice. Every behavior you don’t want, you have to sit and practice it’s opposite with your child. So: pick out the most annoying, frequent thing your child does. Ask yourself “what would child ideally do instead?” And then practice that every day. Like literally pretend you are at the park. Tell child “let’s act like we are playing in the park. Now mama is telling you we need to go. Now you start screaming. Scream! Throw the biggest tantrum ever!” Your child will laugh and it will be fun. Then show them what to do instead. And reward the Practice. Repeat until it sticks.[/quote]
