[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP. I think ignoring the behavior is crap advice. That’s ABA stuff. It assumes he’s doing it for attention, when attention is only one of many many reasons he could be doing it.[/quote] Yes and no. Ignoring (or minimizing the response) can be one pretty powerful tool and it’s recommended by many types of therapists. But sometimes you also need to impose consequences. Ignoring works best for lower level behaviors, when you praise the small good and ignore the rest. For physical aggression like OP is describing you cannot actually ignore it, but responding with big drama can reinforce it for sure. So you impose the consequence but do it very calmly. [/quote]
