First then is a helpful tool when used correctly, the first should be something less preferable and the then something more preferable.

Visuals are a great tool for all kids! Visual schedules can help increase independence and decrease prompt dependency. They can be a simple check list or a picture schedule. I often laminate mine for continued use! You can find visual schedule templates on my website, under free resiurces. #behavior #behaviorchange #visuals #visualsupport #checklists #parents #parenting #parentingtips

I am really excited to offer my Behavior Basics course. Parenting is really tough and often we get stuck trying to figure out what the next right move is. Even worse, we are in the thick of behavior meltdowns and things aren’t getting better. My course goes over the basics of behavior to help you understand why our children engage in certain behaviors. I also review a variety of interventions based on the function of the behavior. This course is $58 dollars and comes with a 21 page PDF outlining all the topics covered. If you are sick of seeing my face and just want the PDF that is an option as well for $28. Both options are available in my linktree under the Behavior Basics tab. #behavior #behaviorchange #behaviorbasics #course #pdf #parents #parenting #parentingtips #understandingbehavior

Behavioral momentum is one of my favorite strategies. This example is an elementary example but the concept remains and I’ve seen this strategy be used effectively even with adults! We do this more often than we even realize. #behavior #behaviorchange #behavioralmomentum #behaviorsupport #strategy #behaviorstrategies #parents #parentingtips #parenting
