children, these activities are done almost every day in the same general order and the
child expects to already do them.
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 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 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 to 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.
