I removed it because she displayed a negative behavior. I replaced the IPad with two other objects for her to work for.

Redirecting children increases their focus and improves their learning rate. Providing parents different ways to redirect negative behavior is a challenge. There are several resources that parents can try when redirection. An example of redirecting would be: A child throws food, parent helps child pick up food, if child throws a tantrum and…

When mistakes or errors occur, we should redirect the energy and attention to the right things without blame. It is really a good idea which could help people have a healthier relationship with not only the family, but also the colleagues. The book begins with a visit to the world-famous marine zoological park in…

little risk to property or health. According to the informants, the antecedents of Matt’s behavior include demands and denied access to preferred activity. Matt begins to draw and/or play with toys when he is demanded to listen to the teachers instruction or complete non-preferred class work or activities.
