[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you pay attention when he's being good and doing the things you want? I once got into a horrible cycle with my son where I gave too much attention to negative behaviors, and none to positive behaviors. When working with a child psychologist he said that I needed to find a way to reverse that - your attention is what the child wants so they will get it however they can. [/quote] +1 for this advice! I have found this approach to be very helpful in managing my elementary classroom and my kids' behavior. Be on the lookout for opportunities to say, "I like the way you xyz-d that. Good job!" Be sincere, but try to find the positive instances. [/quote]
