Parenting with Positive Behavior Support (A Practical Guide to Resolving Your Child's Difficult Behavior)

Now the theory and research behind the positive behavior support process—an approach already proven effective in schools and community programs—has been transformed into a practical, easy-to-use guide that's perfect for sharing with parents. Developed by educators and families, this user-friendly handbook offers parents easy-to-follow guidelines for identifying the reasons for their children's behavior and effectively intervening through three basic methods:

• preventing problems
  
• replacing behavior
  
• managing consequences

The included exercises and worksheets help parents easily track their child's progress, and three illuminating chapter-long case studies walk parents through PBS and show them how this process can transform family life.
