Why teach Positive Behavior?
-
Challenging behavior usually has a message- I am bored, I am sad, you hurt my feelings, I need some attention.
-
Children often use challenging behavior when they don't have the social or communication skills they need to engage in more appropriate interactions.
-
Behavior that persists over time is usually working for the child.
-
We need to focus on teaching children what to do in place of the challenging behavior.
