My next post will be about consequences. Noah is learning something new and that mom and dad are acting different so you may see some major melt downs in the beginning. With preventative teaching at his age I would definitely give him a treat every 10 min that he behaves well. Maybe at first even every two minutes. It sounds silly, but they start to realize acting well gets rewards where not behaving doesn't. Even if he is melting down compliment something he is doing right. It's sounds crazy and you may want to rip your hair out, but slowly you will see changes. I'm going to text you tomorrow!Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144054482242426935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407307612706659465.post-3934829800231361682015-03-08T20:55:42.661-07:002015-03-08T20:55:42.661-07:00Are you going to be in Idaho anytime soon?

Today was terrible again, and I was in tears by the end--so defeated. I think I did the preventative teaching wrong--I think I talked too much and emphasized too much before church, so it ended up sounding like nagging and I became too invested in it. When Noah can tell that I really want him to do something, he does the opposite. UGH! Also, I told him he could have fruit snacks during the closing song as a reward if he was reverent, but I almost feel like that's too much time for him to have to wait for it--it's too abstract. Should I give him one fruit snack every ten minutes if he's reverent or something? Needless to say, he did not get the fruit snacks today (he certainly wasn't reverent), so then we had to deal with that meltdown. I almost feel like rewards undermine my efforts with Noah because everything becomes about GETTING something. What has been your experience with Emme and rewards?

I had to carry Noah out of Cafe Rio today with him thrashing and trying to hit me, sobbing and shouting, "I don't love you anymore!" Holy moly!! I think we better do a little preventative teaching before going into a restaurant next time!!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736424221463366337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407307612706659465.post-36742436878092450422015-03-06T15:47:00.997-08:002015-03-06T15:47:00.997-08:00Behavior modification principles are fascinating t...Behavior modification principles are fascinating to me.
