When shaping behavior, you can't do everything at once. Depending on the age of your child and the child himself, pick one or two behaviors that you will work on first. I would pick the behaviors that are the most disruptive. If the rewards are not working, then you have the wrong rewards. And don't forget, things will work for a while and then stop. You will need to change rewards and change the behaviors you are shaping. After your kids get use to the system, you should love it. Once when my kids were younger and constantly fighting with each other, I offered a reward that they both wanted. The behavior I asked for was that the fighting would stop. I would give a sticker for no fighting in the morning and another sticker for no fighting in the evening. The caveat was that it was all or nothing. They BOTH got the sticker or they BOTH did not. Wow. They worked together very quickly! Note, I did not do this until they were very comfortable with they reward system and had used it for many other behaviors. Good luck.

For example; we started the morning with our first family meeting regarding chores and behaviour. Now the chore chart is pretty simple to use but the behaviour one isn't. Another example is we went for a bike ride today and my son was very considerate and cautious. Then as we were driving home my daughter who also was ok during the bike ride spazed out and started kicking the seat in front of her but when we stopped in the grocery store she was very respectful of my direction and followed through. When we got home both the kids helped me bring in the groceries and my daughter put the food away. Could you please clarify how I do this? I am confused on how it works.

We are not able to email it to you. Best, Dr. Kenny Hi Laura,
