Can I get a link to the power point? I don't have a babysitter so my attention will be split while attending these zooms but I am in desperate need of this information. Thanks.

Definitely transitions is a big issue here too!!

My son definitely needs a 5 minute warning before anything changes

My Grandson has ADHD and I use a timer for a set time that my Grandson can use electronics. He is told the timeframe and as soon as the timer rings, he knows that means it's time to get off of the electronic. If he doesn't turn it off within 10 seconds, he loses privileges. I've been doing this for about 6 months and it works great.

both of these are great strategies for managing transitions!

Before doing this, he was unable to transition from using electronics to doing anything else

I've noticed her 'tablet' dependence was worsened by Covid. It was the way to participate in school during the shutdown so now she doesn't recognize the difference between the tablet as a tool for education vs. entertainment

We use Family Link (android device) so the tablet times out on it's own. He knows that we can control the time, but also that we won't change it unless under exception circumstances (like a long car ride). It's helpful for the device to turn off on its own rather then us try to take it from him.

Yes screen dependence really increased during Covid, and now that my child is a teen she feelsomverly-controlled or babied if I try to discuss/enforce limits. The one thing I have been able to do is turn off her internet access overnight on school nights.

*overly-controlled

What is the difference between positive reinforcement and a bribe?

Are there some consequences/techniques that are more or less successful for typical vs non-typical kiddos?

I thought "positive reinforcement" meant praise for a good job

I have a two year old, and when he gets upset he tends to throw things. To try and teach him not to throw things, I do use time out as a consequence. When I see him getting upset I ask him if he wants to go in time out and he'll say no and think twice about throwing something. However, if he's Past the point of return he still has moments of throwing. Do you have any other ideas that may be more appropriate or beneficial to teach him?

That can definitely be a frustrating behavior to tackle. Hopefully some of our home activities (presented at the end) will outline some helpful alternatives

How long does an extinction burst last?

I have had that with my teen in terms of her digging in and getting more obstinate

@Julia depends on the child, the adults' responses, and the behavior!

@Julie thank you for sharing!

I have that issue too, where sometimes praise can backfire, especially as my child gets older.

I had read that those positive moments of one on one time can be most effective at 3 times a day. The first 5 minutes they wake up, the first 5 minutes they come home from school/daycare, last 5 minutes before bedtime. Is this just "Facebook psychology" or is there some validity to the idea?

I try and say “thank you” as much as I can when they follow directions. I find they usually reciprocate it and are polite back

Choosing healthy meals. Having more patience.

Picking up after herself; coming to the table promptly at dinner time; doing chores at chore time

I like to say good job when they follow directions. I would like to see more polite table manners

these are great examples! Thank you all for sharing :)

It's hard to keep my 8 yr old on task. We do high fives and thumbs up a lot when she gets her task done

those are also great alternative forms of praise

Random question for whatever time it is appropriate: How do you navigate all of this in a co-parent situation? i.e. 1 step forward, 2 steps back

We will try to integrate this question into future sessions

How do we get this material?

Please email Mary Lisa Wade at mwade@scsd.us

Will there be a certificate given at the completion of this 6 week session?
