Best program I've seen for behavior management at home. As a parent of daugthers (ages 13 & 11), this program proves to be very effective for most any age child. This book provides easy step-by-step instructions with examples for start behaviors, stop behaviors and rewards/privileges in just 22 pages. The book also comes with several pre-printed charts where you and your child can fill in the behaviors and privieges you choose. Great for ADHD children/families. We have used this program for 5 months now and it has worked wonderfully for us all. A very positive parenting tool.

We started using the strategies in this book immediately upon arrival. Within 2 days it has changed the behavior of our 4.5 year old with mild autism. We simply made the Start / Stop behaviors and Rewards visual (with just Clip Art) for her rather than written words. For points we made chips for her to post on a board with velcro - again a visual of her tallies rather than just written numbers. When she wants a reward she simply pulls the chips off the board to "pay" for them. She loves it and it is helping us teach math concepts to her as well.

While this book does lay out some fundamental rules needed for an at home behavior system, I prefer the one described at [...] in that it is more fun and creative.

I have been very happy with the Behavior Management program. The concept is so simple, but the difference for me was to have the charts already made up and a SHORT booklet to explain how the program works. I didn't have to wade through hundreds of pages to get to the nuts and bolts - I have done that too many times to count. It has really made a difference in my childs behavior.
