Problem Behaviour Management:

Practical
Video 1

 Case 1
Jacob, a 2-year-old boy, lived with his mother and

his 4-year-old sister. His mother ran a day care

business out of her house and took care of 1015 other

young children. Jacob engaged in problem behaviors

involving throwing objects, banging his head on the

ground, and whining.

 Jacob was more likely to engage in the problem

behaviors when other children in day care took his toys or

tried to play with his toys.

Whenever Jacob engaged in the head-banging, whining,

or toy-throwing, the other children were likely to stop

playing with his toys and give the toys back to him. On days

when the other children did not touch his toys, Jacob rarely

engaged in the problem behaviors.

 Case 2
Anna, a 3-year-old girl, lived with her mother and

younger sister. Anna engaged in problem behaviors at

home involving hitting, kicking, and screaming.

Whenever mother was working around the house or

taking care of elder sister, Anna would shout and

screaming, until the mother comes to her.

 Whenever such behaviour occur, Annas

mother immediately stopped what she was doing and

paid attention to Anna. Her mother was really fed up

and tried to ignore her screaming but saw that her

screaming and shouting increased and ultimately mother

and to go to her. Now Anna shouts and screams for

almost all the things.
