Positive Behavior Supports are strategies that parents can implement to encourage cooperation and prevent challenging behaviors. Preventing unwanted behavior before it happens is KEY, but it takes some pre-planning.

Your challenge is to get in front of the possible unwanted behavior by anticipating what might happen. This approach will provide you with an opportunity to prevent escalation. For example, giving a child choices before a tantrum begins is much more effective then after the child is already upset. We cannot always predict what will trigger unwanted behavior, but when we can it's an opportunity to work on cooperation.

In addition to prevention strategies, it is very important to reinforce your child when you see cooperative behavior. Reinforcement increases the likelihood that the behavior will occur again. Reinforcement looks like praise, hugs, high fives, the item your child waited patiently for, or anything that is meaningful for your child.
