[quote=Anonymous]Since you've asked for concrete examples, here is one. We have children who exhibit this type of classwork avoidance behavior in kindergarten at our school. Some of them have a positive behavior reinforcement card that they use to earn a reward that is tailored to them. They add a token (usually a small picture of something the child likes) to the chart for every positive step in behavior. An example might be: if he write his name on the paper, he gets a token; if he does the first question or activity, he gets another token, and so on, until he earns a predetermined number of tokens. At that point, he is allowed to do an activity of his choice, like ride a tricycle around the hall, or jump on the trampoline. Tasks to earn tokens and rewards change depending on behavior. It has not worked for everyone, but has worked very well for some.[/quote]
