Harried teachers and counselors often resort to standardized behavioral interventions with oppositional, defiant, disruptive, and impulsive kids, incorporating a cascade of rewards and punishments without giving enough time to learning why these kids misbehave in the first place and what might motivate them to stop. Endless and unproductive power struggles often result. But once a reasonable hypothesis has been made about the child's motivation, cognitive-behavioral techniques and traditional relationship-building strategies can be used that help even the most challenging youngster. In this workshop, you'll learn how to engage the child in agreeing to an effective behavioral contract, frame the requirements for change, enlist the cooperation of teachers, parents, and schoolmates in a collaborative effort, and devise clear, practical, appropriate, and attractive rewards.
