Synopsis

Applied Behavior Analysis uses evidence-based practices to help reduce problem behaviors and increase desired behaviors. Who needs these strategies more than anyone? Parents! Especially parents with young children. In this book, learn 10 strategies of ABA to help prevent problem behavior in your family. Read funny examples and get tips on behavior management to help save Mom's (and Dad's) sanity! ABA is often used for children with autism spectrum disorders, but the benefits don't stop there. Use positive behavior supports to cut down on tantrums and hopefully help stop Mom's hair from turning gray. Okay- no promises on the hair thing. But positive behavior supports are evidence-based and proven to work with any and all people- even the Littles that run our households! Every technique presented is backed up by research from the Behavior Analysis, Educational Psychology, and related fields. There is an extensive bibliography at the end that I know you are dying to read. The goal is to help parents come in contact with the actual research-based methods used by clinicians worldwide. Parents can implement these tools and reap the benefits of a calmer household with lots of positive reinforcement for all the wonderful behaviors of their children. ABA works. Research tells us that. Why not try it in your home?
