Behavior Modification: To Use or Not to Use-That is the Question

Behavior Modification: To Use or Not to Use—That is the Question!


Parenting is difficult. Parenting is also wonderful. As parents,
most days we’re reminded of parenting challenges and joys. In
today’s episode, Dr. Sara and Dr. John talk (and John dons his
professorial persona and talks too much). Sara and John they talk
about adding the crucial tool of behavior modification to your
parenting toolbox. Don’t worry, we know how the idea of “behavior
modification” can feel to parents; it can feel too sterile and
mechanistic. The expectation isn’t for you to use behavior
modification all the time, but instead to be able to use it when
you need it. Even more importantly, our hope is for you to learn
how to use it effectively. To help fulfill our hopes, Sara tells
a story of behavior modification gone wrong and John and Sara
share tips for using behavior modification
effectively.
