Do you use the 4:1 (or 5:1) ratio when giving positive praise?The idea behind this method is that to effectively change behavior, you should provide praise four times more frequently than a correction. On an average day, children encounter at least one hundred behavior-based instructions. Put that away.Come over here.Make sure you finish _____.Adults tend to notice a child's "incorrect" behavior more often than desired behavior, which results in providing a higher rate of corrections. After a long hard day, it can be difficult to see the positive. Work on filling one "positive praise balloon" at a time, slowly building the collection to epic proportions. The bigger the bunch, the smaller the impact if one or two balloons POP along the way. ... See MoreSee Less

Inclusion matters! Children have faced some insurmountable challenges over the last year, especially regarding education and social-emotional wellbeing. There are many barriers that educators and children are continuing to face, including increased pressure to meet standards and now the added push "to make up for lost time." More and more, I am noticing a decrease in the things that make a classroom accessible to all students: less flexibility, new standards-based measures, and the desire for sameness among children. Let's not forget that we are all a little different, and it is important to embrace unique qualities in others. If a student is unable to complete a worksheet, is there another way for them to show competency with the skill? If a student is afraid to share in front of the group, can they pre-record their presentation instead? If a student struggles with social communication, have we taught their peers how to approach and interact?It is essential, now more than ever, that every child feels a sense of belonging among their peers, school staff, family, and friends. Challenge yourself to be one of the packs that include everyone. ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know that PRAISE is one of the easiest (and cheapest) reinforcers that you can keep in your toolbox?⭐️ It is often highly DESIRED.⭐️ It is EASY to give to others.And best of all...⭐️ It's FREE!One key aspect when delivering praise is to ensure that it is "behavior-specific." Simply put, the statement is directed toward a specific individual, contains a positive identifier, and describes the observed behavior.Let me explain why this is important. When someone says, "good job today," it may give you a nice feeling inside, BUT it also can potentially leave you feeling confused, thinking, "what thing from my day was the good job referring to?"Instead, if someone were to say, "Dana, you did a great job during the IEP meeting today. You validated the parent's concerns and presented a well thought out plan of action." This statement is positively reinforcing, AND it identifies what I did well, both of which increase the likelihood that I will do that same thing again in the future.Don't forget praise should be delivered four times more often than a corrective statement.Challenge yourself to give some BEHAVIOR SPECIFIC PRAISE to a loved one today! ...

  • Imagine PRAISE as a giant, brightly colored balloon and anytime a correction is given it results in one of those balloons popping. The bigger the collection of balloons, the lesser the impact if one bursts. The 4:1 ratio of praise vs. corrective statements ensures that a higher rate of positive reinforcement is provided. When these statements are randomly delivered, it could result in a higher rate of criticism and less positive reinforcement.
  • There are 1,440 minutes in a day, which means that if your child engages in challenging behavior for 30 minutes every day, there is still plenty of time (1,410 minutes to be exact) left to provide positive reinforcement for desirable behavior. Challenging behaviors don’t disappear overnight. Behavior change takes time, and the 4:1 ratio of praise is one of the many tools that can contribute to that long-term change.
  • Are you looking for a digital ABC data collection option, or maybe you just want to improve on your current ABC Data collection methods? If so, grab these easy to use data sheets!
  • An ABC data collection system is one way to organize, measure, and record behavioral observations. The antecedents (events that come immediately before a behavior) and consequences (responses to those behaviors) that influence behavior are analyzed.

  • Use a QR code generator to create and individualized student barcode that links directly to the digital ABC data sheet. Then you can access the form quickly and easily when it is time to record data.
  • Data collection is one of the most critical steps in the behavior change process. ABC data is a direct observation method in which you analyze the antecedents and consequences that influence a behavior.
  • Have you ever felt if you could just understand your child (or student’s) challenging behavior, you’d be better able to help them? The ABCs of behavior (also known as the three-term contingency) is one of the easiest ways to discover why a challenging behavior is occurring.
