D Doctor Steven Walson addressed that organizing fun activities to occur after frequently refused
activities. This strategy also works as a positive reinforcer when the child complies with your
requests. By arranging your day so that things often refused to occur right before highly
preferred activities, you are able to eliminate defiant behavior and motivate your child’s
behavior of doing the undesirable activity. This is not to be presented in a way that the
preferred activity is only allowed if a defiant child does the non-preferred activity. However,
you can word your request in a way so that your child assumes that you have to do the non-
preferred activity before moving on to the next preferred activity. For example, you do not want
to say something such as, “If you clean your room we can play a game.” Instead of the word
your request like this, “As soon as you are done cleaning your room we will be able to play that
really fun game you wanted to play.”
E Psychologist Paul Edith insisted praise is the best way to make children comply with. This is
probably a common term you are used to hearing by now. If you praise your child’s behavior, he
or she will be more likely to do that behavior. So, it is essential to use praise when working with
defiant children. It also provides your child with positive attention. However, it is important to
know how to praise children in a way that encourages future automatic reinforcement for your
child when doing a similar behavior.
