The Behaviours need to be examined. What does it look and sound like?
For example a child who believes he can get what he wants by throwing a
tantrum in a shop may throw himself to the ground, cream, kick and may
even hold his breath until he nearly loses consciousness. In such
situations the consequences may have to include ignoring it otherwise
attention might re-enforce.
The Consequences: What can you do to re-enforce the desirable
behaviour? This may involve both negative and positive re-enforcement.
The child throwing the tantrum needs to be ignored (negative) but as soon
as he behaves appropriately he should be rewarded but not with the thing
which caused the tantrum in the first place This is called catching them
being good.
