Get Ready... Get Set... Go! It's Time to Create Behavior Change!

By Heather Maguire

Dealing with challenging behavior is an everyday part of parenting. You tell your three-year-old son it is time for bed, and he drops to the ground and begins to tantrum. You tell your ten-year-old daughter it is time to do her homework, and she rolls her eyes and walks out of the room. You tell both children they have to take turns choosing a television program, and they whine and complain when it is the other's turn... The list can go on and on! How do you usually respond to behaviors such as these? Do you feel like it is working? Parents are frequently surprised to learn that their reactions, which seem like valid punishment techniques (e.g., time-out, reprimands, or loss of privileges), actually increase challenging behavior in their children rather than decrease it. So how should you address challenging behavior? The author of Get Ready... Get Set... Go! It's Time to Create Behavior Change! created a parent training manual to address this relevant question. In contrast with parenting books based primarily on opinion and personal experience, this manual is based on proven principles from the scientific field of applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABA is a rapidly growing discipline used worldwide to remediate challenging behavior. Currently, there are over 10,000 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), a certification in ABA requiring graduate-level education, internship, and a comprehensive examination. By using techniques and strategies derived from the field of ABA, you can rest assured that the result will be a noticeable change in your children's behavior and your own parenting practices.Are you ready to embark on the journey to overcome challenging behavior?!
